In a significant legal battle over transgender athletes' participation in women's sports, multiple lawsuits have emerged in New York. ERIN ELMORE reports that Letitia James, the Attorney General, faces a lawsuit from a Nassau County executive for blocking an order that bans trans athletes from certain sports. Concurrently, the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) has sued Nassau County over an executive order that prohibits trans girls and women from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. This controversy has sparked a wider debate, with various parties taking legal action, including a women’s roller derby league suing the suburban New York county over the ban, challenging a Republican official's order. The legal outcomes of these cases could potentially reshape the landscape of women’s sports.

Nassau County remains vigilant in protecting women’s right to compete on a fair and even playing field in a safe environment. We are disappointed that the New York Civil Liberties Union is not joining us in our fight to protect women. https://t.co/gQZVf9YAAe
