Activists unleash a 'next wave' ballot strategy for women's sports inside deep blue states

Activists, led by former Olympian Jennifer Sey, have successfully qualified a pivotal biological sex-protection ballot measure in Colorado for the November 2026 elections, marking a significant escalation in the national debate over transgender athletes in women's sports. This 'next wave' strategy targets traditionally Democratic-leaning states, aiming to bypass resistant legislatures and leverage direct democracy to establish legal distinctions for athletic competition based on biological sex at birth. The Colorado initiative, known as Initiative 109, would mandate that K-12 and collegiate sports teams be designated as male, female, or coed, with female teams exclusively open to students with female reproductive biology.
