The US Supreme Court agreed to decide whether states can ban transgender girls and women from competing for their schools on female athletic teams, heeding conservative calls to consider further curbing LGBTQ rights.

The move comes less than a month after the Supreme Court ruled that states can outlaw puberty blockers and hormone treatments for transgender children.
