  • The attorney general requested that the court grant a permanent injunction that bans the NCAA from allowing biological males to compete in women's sporting events in Texas, or involving Texas teams.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, alleging that the organization falsely advertises women's sports by allowing transgender athletes, who were born male, to compete against female athletes. The lawsuit claims that this practice violates Title IX, a federal law designed to ensure equal opportunities for women in sports. Paxton argues that the NCAA's policies disadvantage female athletes by not providing a level playing field, as transgender women might retain physical advantages from their male biology. The suit seeks to prevent the NCAA from continuing these policies and demands the revocation of awards given to transgender athletes in women's events, asserting that such actions undermine the integrity of women's sports.
