May 11, 2024, 12:29 AM

A New York Supreme Court judge has invalidated Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman's executive order that prohibited transgender women and girls from participating in sports at county-owned facilities. The legal challenge, initiated by a roller derby league, led to the court's decision to strike down the ban, citing it as unconstitutional. An appeal against this ruling is anticipated.
