Colorado sports team sex separation (Prop 134)
Colorado's Proposition 134 on the 2026 ballot would require all K-12 and collegiate school sports teams to be separated based on biological sex, unless the team is co-ed. This measure directly addresses the ongoing national debate over transgender athletes competing in sports aligned with their gender identity, and has particular salience in Colorado given its relatively progressive stance on LGBTQ+ issues.
