Nassau County bans transgender athletes
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman's recent executive order, which prohibits transgender athletes from participating in women’s or girls’ sports at county facilities, has faced significant backlash from LGBTQ+ rights advocates. This policy specifically targets transgender females, barring them from competing in sports designated for “biological females” and has been labeled as discriminatory by critics. Blakeman defends the decision as a measure to protect a respectful environment, suggesting transgender women can join men’s or mixed-gender teams instead. However, this move has been condemned by advocacy groups and officials like David Kilmnick of the LGBT Network and Assemblywoman Gina Silitti, who argue it violates the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, promotes exclusion, and could incite hostility towards transgender youth. Critics also highlight Blakeman's association with controversial groups as concerning.
