Five states—Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Washington—have anti-transgender measures on the November ballot, targeting sports participation, medical care for youth, and more. This marks the first time in American history that voters themselves, rather than legislators or politicians, will directly weigh in on a proposed statewide anti-transgender policy.1
