Litigation over transgender participation policy
After USMS revised its transgender participation guidance in July 2025, Florida and Texas filed lawsuits concerning the participation of transgender women as women. The states advanced different claims, including allegations based on consumer-protection, public-nuisance, and discrimination theories. The dispute concerned eligibility and competitive placement rather than the organization’s general adult-swimming program.
