Equality or exclusion? New ballot measure seeks to separate school sports teams by sex

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Now Colorado voters will have the opportunity to weigh in on one of the biggest hot button issue in the country.

Ballot measure #109 titled "Concerning Male and Female Participation in School Sports" seeks to require the governing body of every school (charter, public, private, and even college and community college) to require separate teams for women/girls and boys/men based on biological sex.

The measure language says it would reduce the chance of injury for female athletes and promote equality between the sexes.

While LGBTQ+ advocates say it's another attack on transgender students.
