Find out about the Long Island county that banned trans athletes from women and girls' sports in what's believed to be the first ban of its kind.
Long Island’s Nassau County has banned transgender athletes from competing in girls or women’s sports at all county run facilities via an executive order issued on Thursday. The order, effective immediately, was announced by Republican Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman and represents one of the latest restrictions in the United States on transgender athletes’ participation in sports based on their gender identities.
“What we are saying here today with our executive order is that if a league or team identifies themselves or advertises themselves to be a girls or women’s league or team, then biological males should not be competing in those leagues,” Blakeman said in a news conference on Thursday. The backlash from LGBTQ advocates was swift and unambiguous.
