FOX NEWS: During the 2021 era, you said 'there are 6 biological sexes.' Do you still believe that? TALARICO: No. I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. The reason Republicans want to talk about six sexes is because they don't want to talk about $6 diesel.

Hot take: Fox News is presenting James Talarico as more relatable to conservatives and Republicans because they want him to win against Paxton. This feels like a PR fix for the kind of people who have been brainwashed into "never voting Democrat." Also, why is the interviewer so angry?

The only response to the trans athlete question is: We all know about the Epstein class of men in the Trump admin. We know Donald Trump spent his life lusting after his teenage daughter and other girls. Trans athlete scare tactics is just one more way for the GOP to grope & abuse little girls.

Good strategy, but actually viewing the video, I would call it bad presentation. Way too defensive and way too willing to acknowledge an irrelevant talking point (backtracking instead of firm refusal to humor them)

He doesn’t get elected in TX to defend trans rights nationally if he gets bogged down in a fox news trap. He makes the response about the failures of the Rs, gets in the Senate, takes the majority, and passes legislation to protect trans, gay, non, fluid, etc.

Not really different sexes but he was close. There are several combinations of Sex chromosomes that have distinct physical or developmental features. XX typical female XY typical male X0 Turner's female XXY Klinefelter's male XXY Jacob's male XXXY Klinefelter's variant male

Biological sex (anatomy and chromosomes) is distinct from gender identity. There's question wasn't about gender identity. There are two biological sex organs, and two chromosomes types XX, and XY. Try not to protest this factual answer by helping elect a trumpie.

In biblical Judaism, the Talmud “(compiled centuries after the Hebrew Bible) identifies up to eight distinct physical and biological categories to address specific legal rights and duties in Jewish law.”

During the 2021 year Trump and every committed treason against our country and should be executed. That seems like a much easier answer but obviously would be meaningless to fox news viewers. No, that was the only way to answer that and then vote for Trans rights once he wins.

Here is a link to Texas HB 4042 in 2021. It amended Section 33.0832 of the Texas Education Code to prohibit interscholastic teams from allowing a student to compete in an activity designated for the opposite biological sex unless a corresponding activity for that sex is not available. 1/3

It had 40 Republican co-sponsors. legiscan.com/TX/bill/HB40... The split in the Texas house 83/67. Needed 76 to pass it. 40 Co-Sponsors. It came before the House Public Education Committee where Talarico sat. He famously dismantled the bill's lead sponsor, where these comments are from. 2/3

legiscan.comTexas HB4042 | 2021-2022 | 87th LegislatureSummary (2021-04-20) Relating to requiring public school students to participate in interscholastic athletic activities based on biological sex. [Left pending in committee]

Did Talarico oppose legislation that would bar transgender athletes but wanted an amendment for community decisions? Did he state today that he opposes transgender athletes in womens' sports if unfair, meaning only when the advantages are too great to compete against? It's confusing.

Watch at 2:58 where he slays "Faith & Freedom Assoc" by asking What part of your faith moves you to hurt the least of these?" "What part of freedom moves you to ask the Gov't to police people's private parts?" 3:59:59 "50 years from now, we will look back and be ashamed of your testimony."

Let me remind everyone: the original comments he is being asked about were comments in the Texas Legislature committee considering HB 4042 which was a ban on transgender athletes in sports. Talarico dismantled the sponsor and the bill got killed in committee. So he won the fight you all want to win

I'm afraid Dems will get turned off, because we forget they choose their candidates ONLY if the bus leaves them right at the entrance of where they wanna go and rolls out a red carpet. The corner 10 yards away won't do. Yes, many are that stupid. That's why we are here right now.

If there’s an idiot in Texas who sits out this election because Talarico isn’t the “One True Scotsman” with the purest of peak leftism, and would rather Paxton wins, then that person is asking to suffer for their stupidity. The guy killed the bill in Texas. Give him some leeway.

“But he didn’t say it in exactly the way I wanted so he’s obviously jointing the GOP! I don’t really care about trans people because I don’t know how to win elections just complain like an idiot!” - dumbasses up and down the comments

You know who’s NOT going to reneg on his promises about human rights? The Other Guy Running. Paxton promises to marginalize and disenfranchise all manner of vulnerable groups, and he’ll keep that promise!

He was asked about sex, not gender... 🫣🤣 You'd think ones so hypervigilant for any speech that doesn't meet a purity standard would be a little more discerning... 🙊🤷‍♂️

What do people want him to do? Say “There are no genders; free trans surgeries for school kids; if you think there is only a male and female you are bigot who deserves to die”? He’s a sincere Christian running for Senate in Texas. This isn’t Berkeley city council. He said what he has to say.

Remember when a republicans husband was a cross dresser showing them as hypocrites If that was a democrat even state side we would hear about it until the 2050 elections

The truth might have been better. "Cisgender, not six genders, and I can't help it that the President has dementia and the vocabulary of a 5 year old. He got it wrong, kept saying it, and now they all say it because Trump's ego is more important than Texans paying $6 a gallon for diesel."

The entire idea of binary sex is ridiculous on the face of it. There is no one who can show that every single human being on the planet can be defined by a specific mutually exclusive pattern for how our genes express what humans have defined as "sex".

AND I say this as a human being who is at the extreme end of the spectrum towards being what is commonly referred to as "CIS Gender". In other words, I am a "male" who really digs "females" in a psycho sexual manner. But that's just me. How about you?

I wish him all the luck in the the world. But they vote against their best interest because they want to own the libs. So yeah it's Texas it's going to be be close they don't care Paxton is a crook look who's in the WH

He should have responded by saying 'What? Are you stupid? You stupid, stupid person. You are so dumb you should be fired immediately!' He should then stay away from Faux noose - The news network for fake news and crooked liars.

His only options in answering this very bad faith question: "Read a book, fox lady" or "Of course, there's only two sexes. The Bible tells me so." And then he'll go home and pound his head into the wall, and wonder how we got so f'ing stupid.

Not discussing nuance with people who don't understand it is one thing, but denying nuance exists is a capitulation that I hope Talarico reconsiders. We can't let science take a back seat to political expediency. [==*==]

There must be political expediency for a Democrat to win a senate seat from Texas. That’s just the way it is. We haven’t had one in 30 YEARS Beto lost his election the moment he said “Hell yes we’ll take your guns” Did I agree with him? Yes. Was it wise for his to say? Absolutely not.

Everyone’s focused on the 6 sexes thing, but I’m still stuck on “the 2021 era.” That’s not an era, that’s a year. People are broken. Everything is “era” now.

I don’t understand why this is wrong. Is he supposed to insist that there are 6 biological sexes, whatever that means? The only thing I wish he added was that the question was stupid as fuck, who cares how many sexes there are, just treat all people with dignity and respect.
