The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for states to impose restrictions on transgender student athletes, upholding laws in Idaho and West Virginia banning them from female sports teams.

The justices overturned decisions by lower courts siding with transgender students who challenged the ban in the two states as violating the U.S. Constitution and a federal anti-discrimination law.

The Idaho and West Virginia laws designate sports teams at public schools, including universities, according to "biological sex" and bar "students of the male sex" from female teams. 25 other states have similar laws on the books.

Idaho and West Virginia said the laws preserve fair and safe competition for women and girls, while critics see the measures as part of a broader assault on the rights of transgender Americans.
