The legislature of New York's Nassau County passed a law to ban women's and girl's sports teams from using sports facilities unless they exclude transgender individuals. This is a similar move to a previously thwarted order by the county executive, aiming to provide a fair chance for cisgender athletes.
Under the new law, organizers of girls' and women's sports in Nassau County must inquire about birth certificate sex markers and expel transgender members. The law does not affect boys' or mixed teams. While defending the law, an official referenced incidents of injuries involving cisgender individuals and transgender athletes from other states, prompting questions about occurrences in New York.
