Under this logic, today's decision may have effects that extend well beyond the domain of federal antidiscrimination statutes. This potential is illustrated by pending and recent lower court cases in which transgender individuals have challenged a variety of federal, state, and local laws and policies on constitutional grounds. See, e.g. , Complaint in Hecox , No. 1: 20-CV-00184 (state law prohibiting transgender students from competing in school sports in accordance with their gender identity); Second Amended Complaint in Karnoski v. Trump , No. 2:17-cv-01297 (WD Wash., July 31, 2019) (military's ban on transgender members); Kadel v. Folwell , ---- F. Supp. 3d ----, ---- - ----, 2020 WL 1169271, *10-*11 (MDNC, Mar. 11, 2020) (state health plan's exclusion of coverage for sex reassignment procedures); Complaint in Gore v. Lee , No. 3:19-cv-00328 (MD Tenn., Mar. 3, 2020) (change of gender on birth certificates); Brief for Appellee in Grimm v. Gloucester Cty. School Bd. , No. 19-1952 (CA4, Nov. 18, 2019) (transgender student forced to use gender neutral bathrooms at school); Complaint in Corbitt v. Taylor , No. 2:18-cv-00091 (MD Ala., July 25, 2018) (change of gender on driver's licenses); Whitaker , 858 F.3d at 1054 (school policy requiring students to use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on birth certificate); Keohane v. Florida Dept. of Corrections Secretary , 952 F.3d 1257, 1262-1265 (CA11 2020) (transgender prisoner denied hormone therapy and ability to dress and groom as a female); Edmo v. Corizon, Inc. , 935 F.3d 757, 767 (CA9 2019) (transgender prisoner requested sex reassignment surgery); cf. Glenn v.
