Colorado Votes on Trans Athlete Bans | Denver News

The Supreme Court just ruled states can ban transgender athletes from girls’ and women’s sports — but not all states will follow suit. In Colorado, where existing laws protect students’ gender identity in schools, those protections remain intact for now — even as the state faces federal funding threats. Parents and advocates warn bans could harm kids’ mental health and force invasive sex verification, while a November ballot initiative, I-109, puts the issue directly in voters’ hands. Supporters say it ensures fair competition; opponents argue it’s exclusionary and that the Supreme Court’s decision isn’t final — Colorado’s voters will decide on dignity, privacy, and belonging this fall.
