B.P.J. (Plaintiff) is an 11-year-old girl who will start middle school this fall. While in elementary school, B.P.J. participated on a cheerleading team. She enjoyed the camaraderie of practicing, playing, and competing alongside a team comprised entirely of girls. This fall, B.P.J. wants to continue playing sports in middle school by participating on the girls’ cross-country and track teams. B.P.J. comes from a family of runners, and she is excited for her chance to try out and compete. However, B.P.J. was informed by her school principal that because of a new statute (H.B. 3293), she will no longer be permitted to join either team because she is a transgender girl
