SCOTUS will hear argument in January in Little v. Hecox, a challenge to a state ban on trans-girls/women's participation in girls/women's sports. The plaintiff (Hecox) won in the Ninth Circuit. In September, the plaintiff submitted to SCOTUS a suggestion of mootness, certifying that she no longer wanted to participate in women's sports in the state.
Several of the mootness panelists wrote about this. FYI, here is an article by Profs. Mazzone and Amar (both at Illinois), styled as an "open letter" urging the Court to follow ordinary mootness principles and dismiss the case.
