A group of female college -athletes affected by transgender cluttering will testify in a legal battle between NCAA and the state of Texas on Tuesday.
After NCAA changed its gender eligibility policy to prevent biological men from competing in women’s sports to comply with President Donald Trump’s 5th February order, which deals with the question, many pro-women activists spoke with concern for the new policy not going far enough to keep trans athletes out.
At the end of February, Texas Attorney sued General Ken Paxton NCAA for his recent revised policy and demanded that the governing body begin mandatory sex screening.
The first hearing of the trial is Tuesday and will include testimony from former San Jose State University -Volleyball player Brooke Slusser and her mother, Kim Slusser, former North Carolina State University Kylee Alons and the former University of Kentucky swimming Kaitlynn Wheeler.

These athletes are already involved in another lawsuit, led by Riley Gaines and the Independent Council on Women’s Sports (Icons), against NCAA for its previous gender policy that enabled Trans athletes to compete as women with reference to their own experiences with trans -cluttering.
Slusser is the latest of the group participating in the fight against trans -cluttering in women’s sports after participating in the Gaines Case in September about her experience with the transient teammate Blaire Fleming. Slusses have claimed that SJSU did not reveal Fleming’s birth sex while shared changing and dormant areas.

Alons, a 31-time Allamerican and two-time NCAA champion, and Wheeler shared a dressing room and pool with former University of Pennsylvania Transgender Swimmer Lia Thomas at the 2022 NCAA championships.
Now the three athletes will seem to share their experiences in court as they try to bring compulsory sex tests to NCAA and prevent future female athletes from reviewing similar experiences.
Paxton’s trial has reflected many of the critics of critics that current policy is too mild and could allow Trans athletes to compete in women’s sports with a changed birth certificate.

In the United States, 44 states allow birth certificates to change to change a person’s birth sex. The only states that do not allow this are Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Montana. There are 14 states that allow sex on a birth certificate to change without required medical documentation, including California, New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.

“In practice, NCAA’s lack of sex screening has allowed (and will continue to give) biological men the opportunity to participate in ‘women’s’ sports categories’, the trial states. In addition, Paxton claims that NCAA provides” ample opportunity for biological men to change their birth registers and participate in women’s sports. “
Paxton filed a lawsuit against NCAA in December over his previous politics. In this case, Paxton accused of NCAA of “engaging in false, misleading and misleading practice by marketing sporting events such as ‘woman’ competitions only and then giving consumers mixed sex competitions where biological men compete against biological women.”
“NCAA is deliberately and consciously jeopardizing women’s safety and well-being by misleading women’s competitions to co-ed competitions,” Paxton said in a statement. “For example, when people see a woman’s volleyball match, they expect to see women play against other women, not biological men who pretend to be something they are not. Radical ‘gender theory’ has no place in university sports.”
NCAA made a statement to Pakinomist Digital, which addressed the criticism and insisted that changed birth certificates will not be accepted.
“The policy is aware that there are no exceptions available and student athletes assigned male at birth may not be able to compete for a women’s team with changed birth certificates or other forms of ID,” the statement states. “Players in male practice have been a staple in college sports for decades, especially in women’s basketball, and the association will continue to explain it in politics.”
These details are not described on the official NCAA policy page, and it makes no specific references to birth certificate, ID changes or women’s scholarships going to trans athletes.
