Judge Supports NY AG in Legal Battle Over Transgender Athlete Ban

The ruling allows further legal action against Nassau County's controversial ban, emphasizing the lack of evidence of threat to cisgender athletes.

A federal judge ruled in favor of New York AG Letitia James, allowing her to continue legal actions against Nassau County's transgender athlete ban.
Nassau County's ban required athletes to compete based on their birth sex, affecting over 100 facilities.
The ruling emphasized the lack of evidence that cisgender women or girls face imminent threat from transgender athletes.
The county faces additional lawsuits, including one from the Long Island Roller Rebels.
Officials argue the ban is to protect the integrity and safety of women's sports, while opponents label it discriminatory.
