Caitlyn Jenner, the Olympic gold medalist and transgender activist, has publicly supported Nassau County's ban on transgender female athletes competing in women's sports, citing concerns over 'physical harm', 'massive advantages and undeniable differences', and the potential to 'ruin women’s sports' for years. Jenner's endorsement comes amid a broader debate in New York over the participation of transgender athletes in female sports categories. Nassau County has taken steps to prohibit these athletes from using county-owned sports facilities, a move that has sparked both support and criticism. Jenner argues that allowing transgender women to compete against cisgender women could 'ruin women's sports' and emphasizes the need to 'stop it now while we can.' This stance has been echoed in various statements and appearances, including speaking alongside elected officials in Nassau County. The issue has also reached the Manhattan school board, which is considering a resolution that could lead to similar bans, reflecting a growing contention over transgender athletes' rights in sports across New York.
