"NY Attorney General Clashes with Nassau County Over Transgender Athlete Ban"

New York's attorney general has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, criticizing his executive order banning transgender athletes from competing against girls at Nassau County sports facilities as "discriminatory and transphobic." The attorney general has given Blakeman five days to rescind the order or face legal action, citing it as a violation of New York law. Blakeman argues that the ban is meant to protect athletes from "bullying," but has been unable to provide examples of such incidents in Nassau County.
