(WBOY) - The case of West Virginia v. B.P.J., which challenges the constitutionality of West Virginia's Save Women's Sports Act, is moving forward in the Supreme Court of the United States.

On Monday, Heather Jackson, B.P.J.'s mother, filed a response brief on behalf of her child in the case. B.P.J. is a 15-year-old transgender student at Bridgeport High School in Harrison County who was barred from competing on the girls track team because of West Virginia's House Bill 3293, which says that students must compete on gendered sports teams based on the sex they were assigned at birth, regardless of their gender identity.

The U.S. Supreme Court will decide if the law violates Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
