Two gender-related bills, including Republican-sponsored legislation that would regulate what teams transgender student-athletes can play on, were introduced in the Democratic-controlled Colorado legislature this week., said it was a measure designed to be compassionate, but LGBTQ advocacy groups immediately decried it as discriminatory and part of a nationwide effort to introduce anti-transgender legislation.
