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.

It’s weird how all these man-hating women keep eroding the gains women have made that they formerly supported. I guess James and her ilk simply hate everyone who isn’t them.

The Progressive Left has to deny science and biology to push the “transgender” ideology.
I’m okay with people who are confused about what sex.. or species...competing against each other.
And if this is a real issue...which it isn’t..than the federal government should (not really) provide separate locerrooms and showers for people who identify as something they were not born as
RE: federal government should (not really) provide separate locerrooms and showers for people who identify as something they were not born as
I’m trying to understand this, are you saying that we have to have 3 separate bathrooms? One for Male, One for Fermale and one for Other?
