The Supreme Court ordered the Maine House of Representatives on Tuesday to restore the vote of a Republican lawmaker who was censured after she wrote an online post defending fairness in women’s sports and criticizing the intrusion of a trans-identifying male athlete into female competition.

Maine Representative Laurel Libby filed the emergency appeal to the Supreme Court while a lawsuit over the social media post plays out. In the post written earlier this year, Libby criticized a male high school athlete who won a girls’ track meet, and included in the post the male student’s name.

The Democrat-controlled Maine House decided that Libby’s post violated ethics in identifying the student, and when she chose not to apologize, Libby was subsequently banned from speaking and voting on the House floor.

Libby’s viral post set the scene for a contentious debate about gender in Maine.

In March, Maine’s governor Janet Mills (D) announced that Maine refused to comply with an executive order President Donald Trump enacted early on in his presidency, which bans men from participating in women’s sports. Trump’s Justice Department is now suing the state for violating Title IX, the federal law that offers protections to individuals based on biological sex.
