With this law, Nassau County is once again attempting to exclude transgender girls and women from participating in sporting events while claiming to support fairness," said Attorney General James.
"Now, this discriminatory law must be as well. Here in New York, every person has the right to be exactly who they are, free from discrimination, and my office will always protect that right," Attorney General James emphasized.
The law, titled "Fairness for Women and Girls in Sports," requires teams using county facilities to designate themselves as male, female, or coed according to athletes' biological sex at birth.
"Though Long Island claims to be a place where 'You BeLong,' Nassau County's Local Law 121-24 is solely exclusionary," said NYC Council Member Crystal Hudson.
