Female Athletes Sue NCAA Over Transgender Policies, Alleging Title IX Violations

The lawsuit, led by Riley Gaines, challenges the inclusion of trans-identified males in women's sports, citing concerns over fairness, privacy, and safety.

Riley Gaines and 15 other female athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, challenging its transgender policies and alleging violations of Title IX.
The lawsuit seeks to prevent trans-identified males from competing in women's sports and using women's locker rooms, claiming it diminishes women's privacy and safety.
Plaintiffs argue that the NCAA's policies unfairly advantage trans athletes and demand the revocation of awards given to trans-identified male athletes.
The lawsuit also accuses the NCAA of suppressing free speech and violating the 14th Amendment by enforcing LGBTQ-Inclusive Codes of Conduct.
The case could impact eligibility rules at over 1,100 colleges and universities represented by the NCAA, aiming to preserve the legacy of Title IX.
