Colorado mom who said daughter was secretly transitioned helps lead effort to ban boys in girls' sports

Erin Lee, a mother who claims her daughter was secretly socially transitioned at school, co-founded Protect Kids Colorado and led a successful campaign for three ballot initiatives. Two of these measures, Proposition 134 and Proposition 135, aim to restrict boys from competing in girls’ sports and prohibit certain gender-transition surgeries for minors, respectively. Lee views these victories as a rejection of gender ideology as a winning political issue, even as Democrats won other key races in Colorado.

• Erin Lee, co-founder of Protect Kids Colorado, spearheaded a campaign that passed three ballot initiatives in Colorado.
• The campaign was motivated by Lee’s personal experience where she alleged her daughter was secretly socially transitioned at school.
• Two of the passed propositions aim to restrict transgender athletes from competing in girls’ sports and prohibit certain gender-transition surgeries for minors.
• Lee believes the success of these measures indicates a broader opposition to gender ideology policies, extending beyond partisan lines.
• The campaign was characterized as a “movement of the people,” relying on a large base of volunteers and community support, and overcoming significant opposition spending.
