Nassau County bans trans women from playing sports at its facilities
An executive order signed by the Nassau County executive on Thursday essentially bars trans women from participating in women’s sports teams at facilities run by the county, and forces sports leagues to comply with the measure or lose access to fields and facilities.
The county licenses more than 100 facilities to sports leagues, which can be banned from using these spaces if they don’t comply with the new measure, according to the executive order, which Gothamist obtained a copy of. Sports teams must comply when “applying for a use and occupancy permit to utilize Nassau County parks property for the purposes of organizing a sporting event or competition,” the order reads.
“I just want to thank County Executive Blakeman for being a pioneer – and standing up for women,” she said.The New York Civil Liberties Union called the executive order “illegal” and said it is already considering options to stop it.
