Mamdani administration reaffirms that trans athletes ‘can play the sports they love’ in NYC

The Mamdani administration reaffirmed New York City's support for trans athletes to participate in sports following the Supreme Court's ruling upholding state laws that bar trans athletes in Idaho and West Virginia. A joint statement from Taylor Brown, director of the Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, and Christine Clarke, chair of the NYC Commission on Human Rights, emphasized that NYC law protects transgender students' rights to athletic participation.
