West Virginia (AP) The Supreme Court has thrown out appellate rulings in favor of transgender people in four states following the justices’ recent decision upholding a Tennessee ban on specific medical treatment for transgender youths.
But the justices took no action Monday in cases from Arizona, Idaho, and West Virginia involving the participation of transgender students on school sports teams.
The court could say by Thursday whether it’ll take up the issue in its next term.
The high court ordered appellate judges to reexamine cases from Idaho, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and West Virginia involving access to medical care and birth certificates.
Those rulings all found violations of the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, the legal question raised in the Tennessee case.
