Justice agreed to consider whether the laws of Idaho and West Virginia that prevent transgender girls and women from competing with women athletics, violating the security segments and title IX similar to the Constitution. Cases related to transgender rights come after the orthodox majority of the court A ban imposed On gender-suggestion care for transgender minors.
At the beginning of its next term in October, the Supreme Court reviewed the decisions of the lower court, which found that Idaho and West Virginia laws discriminate against transgender athletes.
The issue of transgender athletes participating in girls and women’s sports has exploded at the state level in recent years. Idaho was the first state to pass a law, preventing athletes from participating in women and girls from participating in the game, and followed two dozen suits. Half of the states have also passed laws that prevent some medical remedies for minors who experience gender dysphoria.

The President’s order directs that under the title IX, the landmark law banning sexual discrimination in schools, educational institutions receiving federal funds “cannot deny women equal opportunities to participate in sports.”
