The Supreme Court’s decision Thursday to weigh in on transgender sports bans will put two conservative justices in the spotlight in coming months, both because of what they have said in past cases involving LGBTQ rights – and what they haven’t.

The Supreme Court decided Thursday to review state bans on transgender athletes participating in public school sports.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to hear a bid by Idaho and West Virginia to enforce their state laws banning transgender athletes from female sports teams at public schools, taking up another civil rights challenge to Republican-backed restrictions on transgender people.

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to decide whether states may ban transgender students from playing on sports teams that align with their gender identity, revisiting the issue of LGBTQ rights in a blockbuster case just days after upholding a ban on some health care for trans youth.

In West Virginia v. B.P.J., West Virginia appealed a lower court’s ruling that said banning a transgender student from participating in sporting competitions violates the student’s rights. An appeals court ruled in the student’s favor, citing the Constitution’s equal protection clause and the Title IX sex discrimination in education law.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two cases in the fall that test state laws banning transgender women and girls from participating in sports at publicly funded institutions.

A decision on whether transgender girls in Arizona will be able to participate in girls' sports will have to wait.

The Supreme Court announced Thursday it will decide the legality of bans on transgender athletes’ participation in women’s sports.
