It\u2019s not even a <em>clever<\/em> lie.<\/p>\n<p>1.) Boys should play sports on teams for boys<\/p>\n<p>2.) OH NO WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT STRANGERS SHOULD MAKE LITTLE CHILDREN TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES SO STRANGERS CAN SEE THEIR GENITALS!?!?!?<\/p>\n<p>News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocate.com\/politics\/states\/colorado-genital-exams-ballot-measure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">headline<\/a> from the pro-trans Advocate:<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>\n<div>\n<p>         <span>Image Credit<\/span>Screenshot       <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not just genital exams, <em>forced<\/em> genital exams. You sign up for football and pretty soon strangers come and pin you down to rip your pants off. All those poor little kids, tied to an examination table so strangers can point between their legs. <\/p>\n<p>Protect Kids Colorado, the group sponsoring Prop 134, offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ProtectKidsCO\/status\/2102437797772829031\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fact check<\/a> on the genital inspection claim, but they shouldn\u2019t need to. Fifty years ago, or twenty years ago, no one found the idea of boys and girls enormously hard to puzzle out, and high schools weren\u2019t staring at everyone\u2019s penises and vaginas to resolve the mystery. A return to the long-established reality of normal behavior is framed as a bizarre act of sexual aggression. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Colorado Prop 134 Does NOT Mean Genital Inspections\" width=\"422\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yuZVFBz1fRs?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/span> <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>This is bad faith 101: An argument about a ballot measure isn\u2019t about the question raised by the ballot measure, but instead revolves around fake panic and shameless lying. <\/p>\n<p>The other maneuver in the \u201cnews\u201d is the herding mechanism of associating a measure with an identity. The group behind Prop 134 is also backing two other measures this year, one to more severely punish people who traffic children for sexual exploitation and one to ban sex-rejecting procedures for minors. Here\u2019s how the Colorado Times Recorder just <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradotimesrecorder.com\/2026\/10\/protect-kids-colorado-ballot-measures\/82776\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">explained<\/a> the three measures:<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>\n<div>\n<p>         <span>Image Credit<\/span>Screenshot       <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The opening of the discussion doesn\u2019t center on the point of the measures. Instead, it opens on <em>identity framing<\/em>. If you don\u2019t think children should have their healthy bodies mutilated in the service of trans ideology, you\u2019re basically handling serpents and speaking in tongues at this very moment. No other explanation will suffice. The way you vote isn\u2019t about the actual things the ballot measures really do. The only point is about what kind of person you are. Just imagine what the other \u201cprogressive\u201d moms in Boulder will think of you at social events!<\/p>\n<p>Of course, none of the framing is real. A New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/01\/18\/us\/politics\/trump-policies-immigration-tariffs-economy.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poll<\/a> conducted in 2025 found that \u201cjust 18 percent of Americans believe transgender female athletes \u2014 those who were male at birth \u2014 should be allowed to compete in women\u2019s sports. Nearly 80 percent say they should not.\u201d The point of framing a measure on sexual identity and children\u2019s sports as a benchmark of cultural status isn\u2019t to report on reality; rather, the point is to stigmatize and corral voters, pointing people away from what they actually believe. Sharing a belief with 80 percent of the population makes you a dangerous extremist.<\/p>\n<p>These are the games the media will be playing through election day. Skip all of it. If you want to know how to vote on a ballot measure, <em>read the ballot measure<\/em>. See what it does, not what the endlessly dishonest legacy media want you to think it does.<\/p>\n<p>Protect Kids Colorado offers the plain and unedited language of their three Colorado ballot measures <a href=\"https:\/\/www.protectkidscolorado.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on their website<\/a>, and they also offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/irp.cdn-website.com\/a795de63\/files\/uploaded\/CO+Laws+That+Mandate+Gender+Ideology.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">list<\/a> of \u201cColorado laws that mandate gender ideology.\u201d Start with reality, and figure out the rest for yourself.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>   Chris Bray is a senior correspondent at The Federalist and a former infantry sergeant in the U.S. Army.
