Paxton’s statement alleges that USM is dedicated to “false, misleading and misleading practices by allowing men to compete in women’s events.”
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with USMs to comment.
In June 2023, Texas approved the Save Women’s Sports Law, which prohibits trans athletes from competing in girls and women sports and only allows students to compete in the gender category that appears in their birth certificates. The law only allows schools to recognize the changes made in the birth certificates that were made to correct an administrative error.
Paxton previously launched an investigation into USMS after the April incident.
Trans swimmer, Ana Caldas, 47, dominated the five races in which the athlete competed, taking gold in the 45-49-year category in five races, including the chest shovel of 50 and 100 yards, freestyle and the individual mixture of 100 yards.

Louisiana’s wife and a long time swimmer Wendy Enderle said she submitted an eligibility review request after discovering that Caldas was transgender through a news article about the April incident.
“I feel betrayed. Simple and simple,” Enderly said to Pak Gazette Digital.
Enderle said he did not appear to Caldas until a USMS met at Little Rock, Arkansas, in January. When he met Caldas, Enderle noticed the muscles and the height of the athlete, but still assumed that Caldas was a woman.
“I knew there was something, but I didn’t know what, I had no idea that she was a trans woman until last Wednesday after the encounter,” Enderle said. “I was surprised … I worry, it angry.”
The female swimmer of the USMS, Angie Griffin, also swam with Caldas in April without knowledge of the birth genre of Caldas.
The shock to learn the news about Caldas led Griffin to write a formal complaint letter to USMS. The letter also asked the organization to “reassess” the recent National Spring Championship and review its gender eligibility policy.
Griffin competed against Caldas in three races in San Antonio and ended behind the Trans athlete in the 50 -yard stroke and the individual popurri of 100 yards.
“I could not stop thinking about how the integrity of individual competition had been committed. Why does the USM not follow the same competitive standards as the rest of the world and the NCAA? Why are athletes ask them to accept less transparency and justice?” Griffin previously said to Pak Gazette Digital
“I paid my entrance rates, air tickets and hotel, trusting in competing in a women’s division defined by biological sex. I deserved to know the truth before stepping on the blocks.”

“USMS allows members to register for the category of competition that are aligned with their identity and/or gender expression and participate in events sanctioned in that category,” say the new guidelines.
