Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Sunday that his office is suing the NCAA "over the league’s stance on participation in sports by transgender players." He said the NCAA "violated the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act by 'false marketing' competitions as women’s only but offering a 'mixed sex' event." Paxton said the NCAA also "'misleads consumers' by not disclosing which participants in its women’s competitions are biologically male" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 12/22). The move by Paxton comes just days after President Joe Biden's administration on Friday withdrew a pending regulation governing transgender athletes, abandoning an effort to provide some protections for transgender students that the incoming Trump administration has said it opposes (SBJ).
