Texas attorney general asks court to require NCAA to begin gender testing as part of new transgender policy [View all]

LUBBOCK, Texas — The Republican attorney general in Texas wants the NCAA to take its transgender policy a step further and require gender testing for athletes who compete in women’s sports. AG Ken Paxon filed a lawsuit in December in state district court and on Thursday added a filing that seeks a court order requiring gender screening for athletes and an injunction intended to prevent the NCAA from “falsely and deceptively claiming that only biological women may participate in female-specific competitions.”

Earlier this month, the NCAA changed its participation policy for transgender athletes, limiting competition in women’s sports to athletes who were assigned female at birth. The move came a day after President Donald Trump signed an executive order intended to ban transgender athletes from women’s and girls’ sports.

Paxton doesn’t think the NCAA move goes far enough, saying the NCAA has no mechanism for screening the sex of athletes. “In practice, the NCAA’s lack of sex-screening has allowed (and will continue to allow) biological men to surreptitiously participate in ‘women’s’ sports categories,” the lawsuit claims. Over the past year, transgender athletes have become a target of critics who say their participation in women’s sports is unfair and a potential safety risk.

The topic became a major talking point in Trump’s reelection campaign even though there is believed to be a very small number of transgender athletes; NCAA President Charlie Baker in December said he knew of only 10 transgender athletes out of more than 500,000 across the NCAA.
