A New York Appellate court has lifted a ban against trans athletes in Nassau County facilities. The ruling came on November 4, a day after the blue wave election. 

It’s the latest ruling in what has been a two-year battle between the state’s attorney general, a Long Island-based roller derby team and Republican Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman.

A four-judge panel of the the New York Appellate Division, Second Department, ruled that the ban violated state human rights laws.
