Will a new law keep men out of women’s sports?
NY Post
Tomorrow, the Nassau County Legislature will vote on a measure that would prevent biological males from competing in women’s sports in county-owned facilities.
While critics like state Attorney General Letitia James have called it “discriminatory” and “transphobic,” the measure, supported by most Nassau County voters, would actually promote fairness and integrity in women’s athletics.
The proposed law is not motivated by antagonism toward the transgender community.
In fact, the law allows trans-identified females to compete against males in some contexts, and for the trans-identified of either sex to participate on co-ed teams.
What the proposed law expressly prohibits is biological males competing on, and against, all-female teams.
The law recognizes a principle lost on its progressive advocates: that the ever-expanding rights of the trans-identified often conflict with the basic rights of women and girls.
