New York Attorney General Letitia James has been sued by a Nassau County executive, who accused her of unconstitutional discrimination when she issued a cease and desist letter and threatened legal action to force the county to allow female-identifying males to compete in women’s sports.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said in a post on X that he filed the lawsuit “to protect women’s sports and ensure a safe environment for women.”
