Paxton Warns WNBA Over XX-XY Shirt Disputes as Dallas Beats Indiana 91-85

Ken Paxton said at a Dallas rally and Fever-Wings game that he has concerns about how Sophie Cunningham supporters are treated at WNBA arenas, though he said the league appears to be "working on it."
The Texas attorney general said he is "looking" into complaints after fans in multiple cities reported being targeted for wearing XX-XY shirts and other messages backing sex-based competition, but he announced no formal action.
The latest flashpoint came after the WNBA admitted security was wrong to tell a mother and daughter to cover XX-XY shirts at an Aug. 16 Atlanta Dream game, saying, "This should not have happened."
Paxton used the appearance to praise Cunningham and reaffirm Texas laws barring biological males from girls' and women's sports, while noting those state rules do not directly govern WNBA eligibility.
The dispute adds to Paxton's broader record of challenging transgender-participation policies in sports, including his still-pending NCAA lawsuit, as he runs for the U.S. Senate.
