CHARLESTON W.Va. (WVDN) – West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey has submitted a supplemental filing in State of West Virginia v. B.P.J., urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and uphold West Virginia’s Save Women’s Sports Act.
Last week, the high court issued a landmark decision in United States v. Skrmetti, upholding Tennessee’s law restricting gender-transition interventions for minors. Now that Skrmetti has been decided, Attorney General McCuskey is asking the Supreme Court to hear B.P.J. and reverse the injunction from the 4th Circuit.
“We have always been confident in the merits of our case and defense of the Save Women’s Sports Act, which protects safety and fairness in women’s and girls’ sports. The law is constitutional and complies with Title IX. While Skrmetti is a landmark decision, our specific question remains; that is why we are urging the Supreme Court, through our supplemental filing, to take our case and allow the women and girls of West Virginia to begin enjoying the protections of the Save Women’s Sports Act,” Attorney General McCuskey said.
In B.P.J., the State of West Virginia is defending the Save Women’s Sports Act, which they claim protects cisgender female athletes and keeps female sports competitive for female athletes.
