Manhattan’s largest school board district approves resolution that could ban transgender athletes from women’s sports

Manhattan s largest neighborhood school board district approved a resolution that could lead to a ban on transgender athletes in girls sports despite sharp community backlash Wednesday night.

Community Education Council District 2, which serves Manhattan from the Lower East Side to the Upper East Side, passed the controversial measure in an 8-3 vote that demands the city s Department of Education allow a public review of its policy allowing transgender girls to play female sports.

The vote took place at the end of a contentious meeting in midtown Manhattan attended by City Council members, district parents and Umbrella Academy actor Elliot Page, who transitioned in 2020 and has been a strong supporter of trans youth.
