The NCAA is being sued by a dozen female athletes for letting transgender athletes compete against and share a locker room with them. The lawsuit alleges the NCAA violated Title IX, the federal law that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college sports and education.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Thursday, also names the University System of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and the University of North Georgia among the defendants. The Free Press broke news of the suit; a copy of the complaint can be read here.
By suing, the plaintiffs are seeking rule changes barring people it refers to as “biological males” from competing in certain events. The lawsuit also seeks to revoke awards won by trans athletes and “reassign” them, in addition to asking for damages for “pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expense costs and other damages due to defendants’ wrongful conduct.”
