Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Sues NCAA Over Allegedly Misleading Transgender Policy

NCAAโ€™s practice of allowing men who identify as women to play in womenโ€™s sports violates the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, Paxton argued.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) on Dec. 22 for allegedly misleading sportgoers into believing they were watching a competition between players of one gender.

โ€œThe NCAA is intentionally and knowingly jeopardizing the safety and wellbeing of women by deceptively changing womenโ€™s competitions into co-ed competitions,โ€ Paxton said in a statement on Sunday. โ€œWhen people watch a womenโ€™s volleyball game, for example, they expect to see women playing against other womenโ€”not biological males pretending to be something they are not. Radical โ€˜gender theoryโ€™ has no place in college sports.โ€

Paxton argued in the lawsuit that the NCAAโ€™s practice of allowing biological men who identify as women to play in womenโ€™s sports violates the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which protects consumers from scams.

In response to The Epoch Timesโ€™ request for comment, an NCAA spokesperson said though the association doesnโ€™t comment on pending litigation, it will โ€œcontinue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented investments in womenโ€™s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA championships.โ€

โ€œMost consumers know that a โ€˜womanโ€™ means an adult human female,โ€ Paxton said, a definition that has been commonly understood โ€œthroughout human history,โ€ he noted.

By allowing men to compete in womenโ€™s college sports, the NCAA is robbing women of their earned positions and lying to consumers about the competitive nature of the sporting event, he said.

โ€œWhen female athletes are forced to compete against men in womenโ€™s sports, they are deprived of titles, records, medals, scholarships, and opportunities to win; opportunities to participate in a fair and safe environment; and the ancillary benefits that sports participation provides,โ€ he said in the lawsuit. โ€œConsumers do not purchase goods and services associated with womenโ€™s sporting events to watch men steal medals and records from female programs.โ€

In March, former college swimmer Riley Gaines and other female college athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing men identifying as women to compete in womenโ€™s sports.
