Women’s sports teams and leagues will be banned from 100 ballparks and athletic facilities in Nassau County unless they agree to ban transgender players, the Post reported.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman on Thursday announced what is believed to be the nation’s first bombshell executive order, set to go into effect immediately.
“We protect the right of girls to compete with other girls. It makes no sense for biological boys who identify as transgender to compete with girls. It’s completely unfair,” Blake said. Mann told the Post.
“Biological boys are faster, bigger, and stronger. They have a physical advantage over women.”
Blakeman issued this order because the county allows sports leagues to use community facilities during the spring and summer, including swimming centers, baseball, softball and soccer fields, tennis courts and other fields. He explained.
The Eisenhower Aquatic Center in East Meadow hosts the Big East College Swimming Championships each year.
Blakeman spoke with about 200 female athletes and Kim Russell, the former women’s lacrosse coach at Ohio’s ultra-progressive Oberlin College who was reappointed after speaking out against allowing transgender women to compete. He plans to hold a press conference and officially announce the ban on trans sports. For biological women.
Nassau County Republican leaders said the order only applies to women’s competitive sports, not co-ed sports or when biological women want to compete against men.
Controversy in the trans sports world has intensified in recent years. In New Jersey, trans swimmer Megan Cortesfield, who competed on the men’s Ramapo University team for three years, set her second college record against a biological woman in three months.
“Ramapo College’s male swimmers set a new school record in the women’s event. Once again show us how far women have come as society celebrates the men who pushed us off the podium.” Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines wrote Regarding the protests that followed Cortez-Fields’ victory.
Blakeman said he decided to ban biological boys who identify as transgender girls over the past month after hearing complaints from parents and female athletes in Nassau County.
“They raised their voices against it. They think it’s discrimination against girls,” he said.
Under the order, sports league representatives must confirm in writing that trans athletes are not participating in women’s sports in order to have the right to use county-operated or owned athletic facilities or ballparks. .
“Historically, women and girls have not enjoyed the same opportunities from participation in sports as biological men,” the order states.
“To maintain equity in women’s athletic opportunities, it is necessary to designate separate athletic teams or sports for each gender. We are committed to making the opportunity to participate in sports competitions a reality.”
“The Nassau County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Museums is the official website of Nassau County Parks and Museums for the purpose of hosting sporting events and competitions that permit athletic teams and sports designated for women, women, women, women, women, women, women, and women. and that no license shall be issued to use and occupy the property of any person.” Or girls also include biological males. ”
The order further provides that county officials may issue permits allowing the inclusion of biological females on men’s or boys’ teams or sports contests.
“For purposes of this Executive Order, an individual’s sex is defined as their biological sex at birth,” it reads.
This proclamation applies to all groups of competitive sports.
