Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman ban trans athletes from competing in girls sports at county facilities
NY Post
Girls’ sports teams and leagues will be barred from Nassau County’s 100 ballfields and athletic facilities — unless they agree to ban transgender competitors, The Post has learned.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman on Thursday will announce the bombshell executive order — believed to be the first of its kind in the nation — set to go into effect immediately.
“We are protecting girls’ right to compete against other girls. It makes no sense for biological boys who identify as transgender to compete against girls. It’s completely unfair,” Blakeman told The Post.
“Biological boys are faster, bigger and stronger. They have a physical advantage against women.”
Blakeman issued the order as the county is licensing with sports leagues to use local facilities — including a swimming center, baseball, softball and soccer fields, tennis courts and other venues — for the spring and summer, he explained.
The Eisenhower Aquatic Center in East Meadow is home to the annual Big East College Swimming championship.
