A Manhattan-based Community Education Council voted on Sept. 10 to rescind a widely-criticized anti-trans sports resolution, drawing praise from advocates who regularly protested the resolution at meetings in the aftermath of the vote. Members of Community Education Council District 2, encompassing Chinatown, Tribeca, West Village, Chelsea, Kips Bay, and the Upper East Side, voted 7-3 to nix the resolution, which called for the formation of a new committee that could review and potentially oppose trans inclusion in school sports.
