"Nassau County Executive Sues NY AG Over Trans Athlete Ban"

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman has filed a federal lawsuit to block state Attorney General Letitia James from thwarting his order banning transgender athletes from competing against biological girls in competitive sporting events held at county athletic facilities. Blakeman and Nassau parents argue that it's James who is discriminating by violating the constitutional rights of female athletes, while James claims the ban is "transphobic" and "illegal." The lawsuit emphasizes that Blakeman’s edict does not discriminate against transgender athletes who are biological males and argues that federal law protecting the rights of female athletes trumps James’ interpretation of the state’s anti-discrimination law.
