A judge for the New York Supreme Court on Monday ruled that Nassau County’s ban prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports at county-run spaces is legal.
In a win for the Republican-controlled county on Long Island, Justice Bruce Cozzens said the ban is designed to “protect women and girls in sports” and still allows transgender athletes to compete in co-ed sports leagues at county facilities. They just can’t compete on women’s sports teams.”
“The Court agrees that this Local Law is narrowly tailored to achieve the objectives and does not categorically exclude transgender individuals from athletic participation,” he wrote. “The law regulates access to women and girls categories in the County run facilities for organized athletic events.”
