Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued an adult swimming organization last week after it allowed male athletes who identify as transgender to compete at a women’s spring meet in San Antonio. One of the males won multiple events.

Paxton’s July 16 suit contains five counts of legal allegations against U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS), stating that it “undermined the trust of consumers through false, deceptive, and misleading practices.”
