Former Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner has thrown her support behind a local New York official’s order banning female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county-owned facilities.
Caitlyn Jenner speaks at a press conference, Monday, March 18, 2024, in Mineola, N.Y. The former Olympic gold medalist threw her support behind a local New York officials order banning female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county-owned facilities. The ban applies to over 100 athletic facilities in New York City's Long Island suburbs.
“It is disheartening to witness someone who has experienced the challenges of being marginalized actively contribute to the oppression of others within the same community,” David Kilmnick, the group’s president, said in a statement. “Such actions only serve to amplify the voices of intolerance and detract from the collective efforts towards a more inclusive society.
The ban doesn’t apply to men’s teams with transgender athletes. It covers all Nassau County-owned facilities, including ballfields, basketball and tennis courts, swimming pools and ice rinks.
