Long Island Roller Rebels sue Nassau County over executive order banning transgender athletes from female sports teams.

The Long Island Roller Rebels, a women's roller derby league in New York, has filed a lawsuit against Nassau County over an executive order banning female sports teams from using county facilities if they include transgender athletes. The order, issued by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, requires teams to "expressly designate" whether they are for male, female, or co-ed athletes. The lawsuit, filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, argues that the county's order violates state laws against gender identity discrimination and is part of a national trend of attacks on LGBTQ rights.
