The U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing states to ban transgender athletes from girls' and women's sports will not have an impact on New York athletes because of the state's existing protections banning discrimination against transgender individuals. The ruling upholds laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning transgender athletes from female sports teams. There are 27 states that have some ban on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports. New York is not one of them. It is illegal in New York for schools to discriminate based on a student’s gender identity or expression. #newyork #transgender #superemecourt Subscribe to our YouTube channel: bit.ly/3jLQjUN Subscribe to Newsday.com: newsday.com/socialoffer ~ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA ~ @newsday on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. @newsday.tv on TikTok.
