  • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) sued the NCAA on Sunday, accusing the organization of engaging in "false, deceptive, and misleading practices" by allowing transgender women to participate in athletic events it markets as women's competitions.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, challenging its policy that allows transgender women to compete in women's sports. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, claims that the NCAA's transgender policies violate Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in educational programs. Paxton argues that these policies disadvantage female athletes by allowing biological males, who may have physical advantages, to compete against them. The suit seeks to block the NCAA from enforcing these policies and requests the revocation of awards given to transgender athletes in women's events. This legal action follows similar moves by other states and reflects ongoing national debates about transgender participation in sports.
