The NCAA is facing a new lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton over the inclusion of transgender athletes.

On Sunday, Paxton filed a lawsuit against the NCAA accusing the organization of deceptive marketing practices for including transgender athletes in women's sports.

Paxton claims that the NCAA has violated the Texas Trade Practices Act "which exists to protect consumers from businesses attempting to mislead or trick them into purchasing goods or services that are not as advertised," according to Fox News.

In a statement, Paxton said that the organization is "engaging in false, deceptive, and misleading practices by marketing sporting events as 'women's' competitions only to then provide consumers with mixed sex competitions where biological males compete against biological females."

Paxton claimed that the NCAA is "deceptively changing women's competitions into co-ed competitions."

"The NCAA is intentionally and knowingly jeopardizing the safety and wellbeing of women by deceptively changing women's competitions into co-ed competitions," Paxton said in a statement. "When people watch a women's volleyball game, for example, they expect to see women playing against other women—not biological males pretending to be something they are not. Radical 'gender theory' has no place in college sports."
