What was said
"Trans people deserve equal protection. But what about non-trans people? What if you want to impose a standard that is unequal for them because you have a teenage girl who is much bigger and stronger because she didn't start out as a girl? Now what?"
In West Virginia v. BPJ, the Supreme Court upheld 6-3 state laws restricting transgender girls from female school sports, reasoning that states may use biological sex classifications in athletics. Cuomo supports the legal ruling while criticizing the political focus on trans issues as disproportionate, arguing the actual number of affected cases is minimal.
