NY Judge Overturns Nassau Ban on Female Transgender Athletes in County Facilities

May 11, 2024, 10:08 AM

A New York Supreme Court judge has struck down Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman's executive order that banned transgender women and girls from participating in sports at county-owned facilities. The decision, which specifically targeted female transgender athletes, came after a local women's roller derby league filed a lawsuit challenging the ban. The court's ruling also affects the use of county-run parks by transgender players. An appeal against the ruling is expected.
