New York AG Letitia James threatens ‘decisive legal action’ over Nassau County’s transgender athlete in women’s sports ban
The Hill via MSN ^ | 03/02/2024 | Brooke Migdon

New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Friday demanded that a Nassau County official immediately repeal an executive order restricting the ability of transgender women and girls to participate in athletic events at county-run facilities, arguing it is “in clear violation” of state law.

“ The law is perfectly clear: you cannot discriminate against a person because of their gender identity or expression. We have no room for hate or bigotry in New York,” James said in a statement, referring to an executive order issued last week by Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman.

Blakeman’s order, which prohibits athletic events that allow transgenders to participate in accordance with their gender identity from being held at county-run facilities, is “transphobic and blatantly illegal,” James said.

“Nassau County must immediately rescind the order, or we will not hesitate to take decisive legal action,” she said.

Under Blakeman’s executive order, which was signed Feb. 22 and took effect immediately, an individual’s gender is defined as their “biological sex at birth.” Local athletic teams, leagues, organizations and programs must “expressly designate” participation based on members’ sex assigned at birth, and permits must be denied to those who allow transgender girls to compete with or against cisgender girls.

This is the hill Letitia James wants to die on?

She does nothing on her own. She is remarkably stupid individual. She follows orders, and is paid to do so. My wife told me this morning that "James is worth $15 million." You don't get that kind of wealth, 1 term into a state AG office, without having BIG money bags behind you. And she does.

“...allow transgender girls to compete with or against cisgender girls.”


They’re not ‘cisgender girls’, they are real girls. I’m not going to use the vocabulary of mentally ill people.

And if Leticia does her ‘decisive legal action’ against the county, then cancel all athletic events at county facilities.

She’ll sue anyone living in New York who’s too conservative for $500 million billion dollars. I’m sure there are plenty of sympathetic judges for her to choose from.

jawohl mein führer! Herr (sic) James is showing its true colors. Someone better neutralize this thing and her Nazi friend in Albany. New York is thisclose to being decimated for good.

James will probably individually sue any parents who oppose these Freaks competing with their daughters into bankruptcy.

She’s a completely insane woman and 100% unprofessional, as her daily Tweets adding to Trump’s fines show to all.

They keep calling it hate and bigotry, but it’s not. It’s science.

Believe the science, right?

There is no such thing as a “transgender woman.” These are transvestite men.

Real women can fix this real quick by not participating. Do a mass boycott and problem solved.

Take it all the way to the Supreme Court. Or maybe I can identify as a black man, since I identify as one. There is no difference than declaring race as there is sex...err I mean jendre...... never NEVER use the terms “gender” “identity” or “gender identity”. There are boys...male and girls...female. NOTHING ELSE.

Biology and language are “hate” to Leticia James. Reality is “hate and bigotry.”
