Catch me, Ken!
At this point it’s starting to look like this: pile of lawsuits This is especially true when focusing on the issue of transgender people participating in women’s sports.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the NCAA for “falsely marketing and selling the competition as a ‘women’s’ sport for the sole purpose of offering a mixed-gender event,” adding to the pile. .

“The NCAA violated the Texas False Trade Practices Act, which exists to protect consumers from companies trying to trick them into buying goods or services that are not as advertised.” “By not identifying himself as a male, he further misleads consumers,” a release from Paxton said.
“The NCAA intentionally and knowingly endangers the safety and well-being of women by deceptively converting women’s competition into co-ed competition,” the attorney general said. “For example, when watching a women’s volleyball game, people want to see women playing against other women, but they also want to see biological men pretending to be something different than they are. No, there is no radical ‘gender theory’ in college sports.
