3. The liberal justices concurred with the Title IX claims

But don't agree with the equal protection arguments.

So, they kind of split the baby on that one, but the batting down of Title IX claims is unanimous.

Sotomayor's opinion is worth a read. Where the liberal justices disagree is that the Court did not allow full fact finding (whether or not puberty blockers have a sufficient effect on performance) and conceded that they might have still ended up with the same unanimous decision regardless. She just hates how the Court has gone about the decision and how broadly they included equal protection in the ruling without adequate scrutiny.
