Colorado
Colorado's 2026 ballot includes two measures concerning sex, gender, and the protection of minors—Initiative 109, which would require sex-based eligibility for participation in school and college sports, and Initiative 110, which would prohibit certain medical and surgical interventions performed on minors in response to their perception of their sex or gender. The questions raised include the integrity of women's athletics, the protection of children, and the proper scope of medical intervention.

Protect Women and Girls Sports Act
A proposed law that would require students on all K-12 and collegiate school sports teams to participate on the team that accords with their biological sex. At stake is the legal definition of sex in athletics and preserving the integrity of girls’ sports.

Protect Children From Irreversible Sex Change Surgery Act
A proposed law that would prohibit healthcare professionals from prescribing or performing any sex-change surgeries on minors. It is the most consequential issue to appear on the ballot in 2026, as it deals with both the nature of human embodiment and protections for children.
