New York County is embroiled in a legal battle with Attorney General Letitia James over the county's ban on transgender athletes participating in women's sports at county facilities. The county's Executive, Bruce Blakeman, signed an order declaring the ban legal and is now filing a lawsuit against Letitia James.
Blakeman expressed surprise at the Attorney General's cease-and-desist order, stating that he expected her support in protecting women from biological males competing in female sports. He emphasized that women are a protected class under federal law and that the county's actions are in line with legal classifications.
