‘Options range from full repeal to minor alterations’
As noted Friday at The College Fix, one of the brighter spots on Election Day for red voters was a trio of blue states passing measures barring men from participating in women’s sports.
Colorado’s Proposition 134 actually defines girls as having female reproductive organs and boys male reproductive organs, and mandates that “students assigned male at birth play only on boys teams or co-ed teams and vice versa for females,” according to the The Colorado Sun.
The measure passed with 52.4 percent of the vote.
However, the Sun reports Governor-elect Phil Weiser, a dean emeritus at the University of Colorado Law School and former state attorney general, noted the very next day he and the state legislature are “going to have to take a look at these anti-trans measures and what adjustments are necessary and appropriate.”
After Tuesday, Democrats hold supermajorities in both legislative chambers.
Weiser did note during his campaign regarding Propositions 134 and 135 (the latter bans gender-“affirming” surgeries for minors) that “the legislature is going to have to fix [them] and provide a much more human and sound approach” if they were approved.
Prop. 135 also passed Tuesday with 52 percent of the vote.
Weiser said, for example, that he doesn’t think it’s acceptable to make every child and young adult playing on gendered sports teams (Proposition 134 applies to athletics for college students as well as youth) get checked for their biological sex.
The measure doesn’t mention genital checks, but opponents have argued that’s where it could lead.
Weiser didn’t offer specifics on his plans for the ballot measures, saying it was too soon to comment on how Democrats may respond. But their options range from full repeal to minor alterations.
Ironically, Weiser has promoted and participated in several “No Kings” protests; in October of last year he declared “Please show up next week at the No Kings Rally to defend our republic,” and then “proudly joined thousands of Coloradans” in “defending democracy” a few days later.
On last month’s “No Kings” day, Weiser posted “I rallied with Montrose patriots to stand for our government of the people, by the people, and for the people”:
Today is No Kings Day! I rallied with Montrose patriots to stand for our government of the people, by the people, and for the people. https://t.co/I8Pv7BNwH8
