The Long Island Roller Rebels, a women’s roller derby league, has filed a lawsuit in a New York court to challenge an executive order issued by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. The order bans female sports teams with transgender athletes from using county facilities. The lawsuit, filed by the New York Civil Liberties Union, argues that the ban is discriminatory and violates state law.
