Texas AG adds gender screening request to NCAA lawsuit

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit seeking gender screening for athletes competing in women's sports, aiming to enforce stricter policies from the NCAA.
The NCAA's recent policy limits participation in women's sports to athletes assigned female at birth, as confirmed by their announcement earlier this month.
Critics argue that the participation of transgender athletes in women's sports poses safety risks, though NCAA President Charlie Baker noted only 10 transgender athletes are among over 500,000 collegiate athletes.
Paxton criticized the NCAA's lack of sex screening, stating it permits biological men to participate in women's sports, a point that the NCAA denied.
