“An Irreversible Child Surgery. It's irreversible. It's robbing a child of a reproductive future. It needs to wait. Our ballot measure prohibits irreversible sex change surgeries on minor children, age 17 and younger. We set age limits on many things in Colorado — from voting, to drinking, to signing a contract. It's too early. For something this serious and permanent, let's wait until age 18.” - Protect Kids Colorado  

“Children should be safeguarded from making irreversible decisions about their reproductive future. This citizen initiative prohibits irreversible sex-change surgeries for anyone under the age of 18.” - Focus on the Family 

“Initiative #110 includes the "Protect Children from Irreversible Sex Change Surgery Act," which recognizes that minors lack the maturity to make "permanent, life-altering medical decisions" and that medical interventions and surgery intended to alter a child's biological sex often result in severe, irreversible consequences and even sterility. Initiative #110 also prohibits medical providers from knowingly performing, prescribing, or administering a medical intervention or surgery on a minor with the intent to alter their biological sex and prohibits state funding from being used for such medical interventions or surgeries. According to Declaration of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith 'Dignitas Infinita’ on Human Dignity (2024), "any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception.” The Catechism of the Catholic Church recognizes that "the human body shares in the dignity of 'the image of God" (CCC 364), including the body's unique biological sex. The fundamental order of the human person is the unity of body and soul and attempts to alter biological sex are contrary to God's divine plan for that person. This is why the Church emphasizes the need to respect the natural order of the human person, especially of children whose physical and mental well-being will be seriously harmed by permanent and life-altering medical interventions and surgeries...” - Colorado Catholic Conference
