  Why even bring SCOTUS in at all, though?

    From the article.

    At issue was whether either the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, which says that the laws apply equally to everyone, or Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, protects transgender students in that context. The court’s decision not to intervene means that litigation in lower courts nationwide will continue, with judges reaching differing conclusions. The Supreme Court is likely to weigh in on the issue at some point.

    Only SCOTUS can clarify.

      Which part is unclear? Within the given context what about the 14th amendment and Title IX conflicts?

      You can not discriminate on the basis of sex, AND be indiscriminate equally to everyone, so what’s the problem?

        Gender and sex are not the same thing. Sounds like you agree with Indiana that biological men should use the male bathrooms since their sex is male.
