A request by New York’s Nassau County to prevent women’s and girls' teams with transgender players from using county-run parks and sports facilities without legal consequences was denied by a federal judge on Thursday, per Reuters. Judge Nusrat Choudhury said Thursday that the Constitution’s 11th Amendment prevents a local government from suing a state government in federal courts. Choudhury also ruled that the county has no legal standing.
It received immediate backlash, including from Democrat state Attorney General Letitia James, who called for Nassau County to rescind it. She sent a letter to Blakeman, calling the order 'transphobic and blatantly illegal' under New York’s human rights laws. Blakeman proceeded to sue James in U.S. District Court on Long Island, arguing that New York’s anti-discrimination laws violate the U.S. Constitution.
