A Texas judge ruled Tuesday evening against an injunction that sought to force the NCAA to implement compulsory gender tests to prevent transminal sports athletes.
Lubbock County Judge, the Hatch, a Republican, chaired an audience caused by the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, who continued the NCAA for his recent revised eligibility policy between the sexes.
The NCAA revised its policy in February to comply with the executive decree of President Donald Trump aimed at prohibiting trans -mining and girls athletes, now judging that any organic male athlete is not eligible to participate in the women’s category. However, Paxton and many female rights activists have argued that politics did not do enough to prevent transminine sports athletes, and compulsory gender tests are necessary to enforce the prohibition.

Paxton was joined by three former female college athletes affected by trans inclusion. Former volleyball player at the San Jose State University, Brooke Slusser, the former swimmer of the University of Kentucky, Kaitlynn Wheeler, and the former Carolina University of North, Kylee, Alons to all testified, sharing their own experiences of having to compete with Trans athletes.
Slusser shared his experience of having to share a team, changing rooms and a room with the former teammate Blaire Fleming, while Wheeler and Alons shared their experiences in competition with the former swimmer of the University of Pennsylvania, Lia Thomas.
However, Paxton’s arguments and the testimonies of the female athletes were not sufficient to convince Hatch to reign in favor of the injunction.
The NCAA provided a statement to PK Press Club Digital sending the decision on Tuesday.
“The Trump administration has clearly indicated that the new NCAA policy is in accordance with men of the Women’s Sports Executive Order. The NCAA is looking forward to another season of championship in progress for thousands of students in competition for national titles,” the statement said.

Trump himself did not comment on the controversy surrounding the lack of gender tests in the NCAA. The president spoke for the last time to the NCAA policy with praise after being modified in a Truth social article on February 6.
“Because of my decree, which I proudly signed yesterday, the NCAA officially changed their policy to authorize men in female sports – it is now banned! It is a great day for women and girls through our country,” wrote Trump.
Critics of the current NCAA policy argued that, according to birth certificates, could allow trans athletes to access women’s competition via modified birth certificates.
In the United States, 44 states authorize birth certificates to modify a person’s birthday. The only states that do not allow this are Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Montana. There are 14 states that allow sexual relations to be changed on a birth certificate without any required medical documentation, including California, New York, Massachusetts and Michigan.
NCAA previously said that birth certificates modified by PK Press Club will not be accepted as sufficient evidence to compete in female sports.

Meanwhile, Slusser’s mother Kim Slusser, who also testified at the hearing, told PK Press Club Digital that Hatch’s decision was a “disappointment” but she plans to “continue to fight”.
“All our little battles, which are not small battles, they are big for us, I have the impression that we lose somehow along the way, and unfortunately I felt this way. I was like” Oh, it is that it will be another “, and of course, it is,” said Kim Slusser. “But we continue to fight, we continue, we know that we are going to win the Great at the end, and it is a disappointment. It is a disappointment.”
Brooke Slusser is engaged in two separate proceedings on the alleged situation of the State of San Jose. She joined another trial against NCAA for her previous policy of eligibility between the sexes alongside Alons, Wheeler and led by Riley Gaines. In addition, Slusser is currently carrying out a trial against SJSU and the Mountain West conference alongside 10 other players from the Conference and its former assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smose on the manipulation of Fleming.
Paxton also conducts another trial against the NCAA on its previous policy. Paxton filed this prosecution in December, accusing the NCAA of “engaging in false, misleading practices by marketing sporting events as” women “competitions to then provide consumers with mixed sex competitions where biological men compete against organic women”.
