Colorado’s quiet revival: A custody provision lawmakers stripped is back in SB26-018

By Shaina Cole | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice When Colorado lawmakers removed custody language from a transgender-related bill in 2025, the fight appeared to cool — or at least move out of view. It didn’t last. Jan. 14 marked the formal introduction of Senate Bill 26-018, backed in the Senate by Katie Wallace and Chris Kolker and carried in the House by Meg Froelich and Lorena García. No Republicans signed on. The bill was assigned to Senate Judiciary, chaired by sponsor Chris Kolker. Lead sponsor Katie Wallace has emphasized education and family policy in discussing the measure, drawing on her background on the Jefferson County School Board. The proposal revives a custody standard lawmakers stripped from a similar bill last session after pub...

Why two House bills on medical transition procedures produced different votes

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice The U.S. House passed two bills this month aimed at restricting federal involvement in medical transition procedures for minors. They used different enforcement tools. And they produced different voting coalitions. One bill passed without a single Republican voting against it and drew limited Democratic support. The vote on the second bill was closer, with some crossover support and a number of members listed as not voting. Republican Rep. Gabe Evans (CD-8) backed the funding restriction but rejected the felony approach. The difference lies in how each bill was written to be enforced. Two bills, two approaches H.R. 498, the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act, is a funding bill tied to how Medicaid dollars are used. It bars M...

Behind closed doors: Gender doctors admit they are ‘winging it’ with minors

By Leor Sapir | The Free Press In footage obtained exclusively by The Free Press, gender doctors acknowledge they perform life-altering procedures on vulnerable youth with no supportive evidence—and they are proud of it. At their conferences, closed to outsiders and the press, the gender clinicians allowed themselves to speak freely. They spoke about the boys who said they wanted to be girls and the girls who felt they were meant to be boys, and the medical and surgical interventions that would make them appear as the opposite sex. The clinicians also discussed new procedures for a new type of patient—some of them adolescents—who wanted to be made to look as if they had no sex at all. In one of the videos, obtained exclusively by The Free Press, from the 2021 conf...

Inside the story Colorado rarely hears: Trauma, transition and the path back to truth

By Jen Schumann | Rocky Mountain Voice “It took me almost two decades to realize the error,” Antoinette De La Cruz told a Fort Collins audience on November 20. “Transitioning didn’t fix anything. It delayed the inevitable. Healing.” It was the first time many Coloradans had heard a detransitioner describe her path into transition, what it cost her and what brought her back. Read RMV’s reporting on the event here. Here she shared the fuller account of her story. Where it began De La Cruz said her transition began long before hormones or surgery. “I learned very young as a little girl that I was not valued as a woman, and I definitely was not safe as one,” she said. When she was seventeen she met someone who told her she could become a man. “I had no idea you could even do ...

Colorado detransitioner’s story anchors Protect Kids Colorado event on safeguarding vulnerable children

By Antoinette De La Cruz | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice My name is Antoinette. I am a detransitioner. And I want to save Colorado’s children from enduring the anguish I’ve been through. I began exploring transitioning into a man during my late teenage years and spent nearly 20 years trying to turn myself into a man before I realized my mistake. Now I am mutilated and sterilized as the result of multiple surgeries with life-threatening complications. My body has been a battlefield of “gender affirmative care.” I grew up in a household of physical, mental and sexual abuse and during my childhood, I learned I had no value as a person and certainly no value as a girl. I learned that being a girl meant being a target. And I did not want to be a target. So I transitioned to...

Violence tied to transgender ideology grows harder to ignore

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal An increasing number of alleged murderers, mass shooters, and violent offenders have apparently tried to silence Christians or critics of transgender ideology, acting on the assumption that those who disagree with transgender claims represent a violent threat. The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk only underscores this unnerving trend, and makes the case for the FBI to formally characterize the threat of transgender ideology violent extremism. The Oversight Project and The Heritage Foundation formally called on the FBI Thursday to use its authority under 18 U.S. Code § 2331 to designate this threat, and I wholeheartedly agree. The FBI declined to comment on the subject when approached Friday. That statute defines&...

When biology meets ideology: Why transgenderism is rooted in magical thinking

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, American Thinker Magical thinking, according to Google’s AI overview, “is a cognitive distortion where a person believes their thoughts, wishes, or actions can directly influence external events, often without a logical connection.” It’s also known as superstitious thinking. We all see it in children when they knock on wood to invite good luck or when they worry about stepping on a crack. Athletes wear the same socks during games because they believe it helps them win. For kids, magical thinking is a way to handle a complicated and confusing world. But when it continues into adulthood, clinicians classify it as a psychiatric disorder. Schizophrenia, for example, is defined by the ICD-10 medical codebook as a disorder ...

True Christians Called to Reject the False Gospel of Transgender Ideology

By Tyler O’Neil | Commentary, The Daily Signal Transgender advocates say their movement is about compassion and acceptance, but is it not extremely cruel to gaslight children into taking experimental drugs with documented harms but no proof they improve their lives? Is there anything more disempowering or dehumanizing than saying your natural process of puberty is so drastic a threat to your mental health that nothing short of fundamentally reshaping your body is necessary to prevent you from committing suicide? I can think of few things as antithetical to Christian love, and, in fact, I can’t help but see transgender orthodoxy as a counterfeit gospel, competing against the faith once delivered to the saints. Cruel Activists use the gaslighting term “gender-affirmin...

Despite Executive Order Schools Still Advancing Gender Ideology

By Mairead Elordi | The Daily Wire Parents, your child’s school might be gearing up to push transgender ideology this fall. As the first day of school approaches, the pressing cultural issue that continues to rile parents and helped catapult Trump to the White House in November remains alive and well in hundreds of school districts across the country despite the president’s efforts to stamp it out. During his first weeks in office, Trump signed a pair of executive orders threatening public schools with existential federal funding cuts if they refuse to root out “gender ideology,” including erasing it from the curriculum, banning males from girls’ sports teams and locker rooms, and no longer encouraging children’s “social transitions,” which can include using new pronouns, allowing...
