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

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.

The court is diving into the hot button issue of transgender athletes joining female sports teams. More than half the states have bans.

The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Thursday to consider the constitutionality of state laws banning transgender women and girls from participating on female school sports teams.

Attorneys for the state of Maine and a conservative lawmaker who identified a transgender student athlete online are in agreement that the lawmaker's lawsuit over her loss of voting rights is now moot.
