Texas Judge Blocks NCAA's Mandatory Gender Testing for Trans Athletes in Women's Sports

A Texas judge has ruled against an injunction that sought to require the NCAA to implement mandatory gender testing to exclude trans athletes from women's sports, effectively blocking a ban on their participation. The ruling means trans female athletes will continue to be able to compete in women's sports without undergoing testing. The decision comes as part of ongoing efforts to balance inclusivity with competitive fairness in collegiate athletics. The outcome is seen as a victory for the NCAA's stance against discriminatory policies targeting trans athletes.
