On Title IX part it was 9-0
 On discrimination it was 6-3 on whether violates 14th Amendment with majority saying it does not
Like to see dissenting opinion but nothing listed it or excerpt yet that I've seen
------
 However, there are still 23 states, including California, New York and Massachusetts, that don't have any such laws, and some of those have laws to protect trans athletes in girls' sports.

It is now up to each state

-----One article had following. I would argue you can't coerce a state if up to each state which is what court ruled.

  The Supreme Court’s ruling will likely bolster the Trump administration’s long-running threats to yank federal funding from schools and states over transgender-inclusive policies.

James Talarico and Ken Paxton are locked in a dead heat in the open Texas Senate race in a new survey released Tuesday, with the state emerging as a major battleground in the fight for the Senate.

A New York Times/Siena poll showed Talarico, the Democratic state lawmaker, and Paxton, the state’s Republican attorney general, tied at 47 points apiece among likely voters. Six percent of voters indicated they hadn’t yet made up their minds over who to support.

 The court in an opinion authored by Justice Brett Kavanaugh concluded that the laws do not violate either the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which requires that the law apply evenly to everyone, or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bars sex discrimination in education.

Although the ruling directly concerns only West Virginia and Idaho, it is likely to affect 25 other states with similar bans.

It is the latest in a string of defeats for transgender people at the Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority.

27 states have such laws

Liberal justices have  opinion agrees in part and disagrees in part which I've not seen yet

Kavanaugh authored it. Though not seen breakdown I think it's the normal 6 conservation-3 liberal ruling.

“Stop the steal” was apparently more of a how-to seminar.
