The ban would prohibit teams that include transgender athletes from using Nassau
County facilities. It is the latest effort in a nationwide push to limit
participation in women’s sports.

A county on Long Island, N.Y., on Thursday banned athletic organizations that
permit transgender girls to compete from using more than 100 county facilities.

Bruce Blakeman, the Nassau County executive and a Republican, signed an
executive order requiring any league, team or organization wishing to use a
county sports facility to “expressly designate” itself as a male, female or coed
team based on its members’ assigned sex at birth. The policy takes effect
immediately and does not require legislative approval.

The move was the latest in a series of efforts by officials across the country
to ban transgender athletes from competing, particularly in women’s sports. More
than 20 states have passed laws restricting transgender athletes from playing
school sports in the past several years, according to ESPN.
