The Supreme Court is poised to add more cases related to LGBT policies in the coming months, after it handed down another major ruling regarding transgender issues when it upheld a pair of state laws banning biological men from women’s sports last week.

The high court ruled 6-3 on Tuesday in the consolidated cases of Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J., upholding laws in Idaho and West Virginia, respectively, that ban biological men from women’s sports as lawful under Title IX and the equal protection clause. The ruling came nearly a year after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in United States v. Skrmetti to uphold state laws banning transgender surgeries and drugs for minors. As the Supreme Court continues to wade into transgender legal issues, there are several cases that appear likely to end up before the justices.

The Supreme Court announced last week the next case it will hear for arguments involving transgender matters. The high court said Monday it will hear International Partners for Ethical Care, Inc. v. Ferguson in its upcoming term, weighing whether parents may sue over Washington state’s law that “deliberately displaces their decisionmaking role as to ‘gender transitions’ of their children, and in so doing creates present and likely future impediments to their ability to parent their children as they deem best for them.”
