The Roller Rebels, a women's roller derby team, continue to embrace transgender athletes despite a ban enacted by Nassau County, which they argue violates civil rights.
Judging from their collective strength and unity, the Roller Rebels stand firmly against the recent legislation, asserting that it undermines the inclusive nature of sports.
As County Executive Bruce Blakeman defends the ban on transgender athletes, members of the Roller Rebels, along with civil rights advocates, are rising as vocal opponents.
Karlen Velkovska, a team member, describes the ban as 'professional legislational bullying', illustrating the feelings of many within the Roller Rebels.
