The legislature of New York’s Nassau County passed a law on Monday to ban women’s and girl’s sports teams from using sports facilities in the county on Long Island unless they exclude transgender girl
s and women from playing. The law was virtually identical to a thwarted order issued by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, in February, which was immediately challenged by New York’s attorney general and a local women’s roller-derby team for violating a state ban on discrimination against people based on their sex or gender identity.
Two of the episodes were in Massachusetts, one in North Carolina, and the fourth occurred in Canada. In response to lawmakers’ questions, she said she was not aware of any such injuries in New York State, nor of how many instances there were of cisgender girls and women causing injuries in sports.
