The Community Education Council District 2 (CEC D2) in New York City has passed a controversial resolution that has sparked widespread criticism from various officials and advocacy groups. Critics argue that the resolution targets transgender children by potentially excluding them from participating in sports activities that align with their gender identity. Liz Krueger described the decision as appalling and accused the council of ostracizing a vulnerable group of children over a fabricated issue. The New York City Comptroller emphasized that 'Trans girls belong in girls sports' and condemned the resolution as a bigoted attempt to undermine the rights of transgender children as protected under Human Rights law and Department of Education policy. The New Pride Agenda and other statements emphasize the importance of inclusivity in sports and the detrimental impact of such policies on transgender youth, highlighting that 'This resolution is rooted only in hate'.
