New York Cultist Loses First Round In Trans Sports Ban

Gothamist reports:

A federal judge on Friday tossed out a pre-emptive lawsuit from Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who sought to stave off legal action by New York Attorney General Letitia James over his decision banning transgender women from playing sports at county-owned facilities, James’ office said. The ban still remains in effect, pending further litigation.

Blakeman has been at the forefront of culture-war controversies since taking office in January 2022, when he blocked enforcement of the state’s mask mandate.

The following year, he criticized the state’s ban on Native American imagery for school mascots and team names, and frequently appeared on Fox News to defend Daniel Penny, the Marine Corps veteran accused of choking a homeless man to death on the New York City subway.
