The Supreme Court agreed on July 3 to consider whether states can ban male athletes who don’t identify with their sex from competing on school sports teams intended for females.

The decisions to grant the petitions for certiorari, or review, in two separate cases were published on a list of orders. No justices dissented. The court did not explain the decisions.
