He already showed us who really is Just another opportunistic scumbag. But this time we made him act like a Christian hahaha.

Stuff like Genesis is still important.

Don’t give a toss about his faith. Prefer not to know if he had any at all. It has no bearing on the ability to do the job for which he is interviewing. I hate it. 

He keeps slapping them in the face with Jesus-y stuff. 😂🤣

Maybe leave the sky fairy bullshit out of it and just say all children deserve to be loved and respected.

This is the only answer. Using the same standards for wrestling, track & field, basketball, softball, baseball, target shooting, weightlifting, etc... makes no sense. Individual sports can handle our own eligibility.

The science is simple: boys are stronger, faster, more aggressive than girls. So they should not compete against girls.

You’re stealing a joke from the Slap Chop guy? Lol Stealing bits is one thing, but stealing from an unfunny conservative woman beater? Lol perfect. So much for protecting women.

There was a wrestler in Texas who was assigned female and medically transitioned to being a male. He won the women's state title in wrestling. That's what can go wrong.

In what way are girls “teenage boys”? This seems to be an insane, pseudoscientific religious position.

And completely ignores the cis males with gynecomastia.

*rabid*

And democrats too afraid to meaningfully stand up.

The only thing I dislike is “My faith teaches me…” bullshit. Says to me I don’t think for myself, I need to believe in a fairy tale and the ______ (fill in whatever text fairy tale is appropriate) is perfect. I have less respect for religious people than say, scientists, atheists etc.

Just more God bollox though

It wouldn’t matter, they don’t listen to us. Countless articles are published all the time talking about us but basically never to us.

We know what you’re really saying.

In case anyone was wondering fairness in children's sports was never addressed in the Bible. Using it to shield from his own bigotry

We’re all people on the same tiny blue marble in the infinite cosmos. Sin é (that’s it)

We are all made in God’s image, be we trans or cis, queer or heterosexual. Every color, every creed, every exceptionality is of Him. To deny the truth of trans existence is to deny God. So many, in their arrogance, have allowed hate to replace the love of Christ. The flock is more wolf than sheep.

That’s a whole lot of words to say “ “.

@jamestalarico.bsky.social 1. Keep your fucking god out of my government. 2. Transgender people aren't a danger to other athletes and they're not beating the hell out of everyone in every sport. Try the fuck again.

This is not the courageous and moral answer I hoped for from Talarico. Protecting kids means understanding risk. Trans kids are demonstrably at enormously higher risk. Protect them.

weird how the wrecker accounts always seem to live somewhere else

I hope you grow the rest of your brain and one day it takes more than a smile and a nod to trick your stupid ass. The options in TX are a Klansman in a hood and a Klansman who lies and pretends to be a good guy... You support the one without his hood on... I support neither. Have a nice day.

It's not "trans people do that" though, it's that there's a good deal of evidence that male puberty confers real physical advantages that almost entirely go away with hormonal transition. That's why those rules exist.

Yeah, but that’s not what the AI generated ads paid for by Elon Musk say.

He just bullshitted his way around separate but equal segregation. He's literally bullying trans kids. How are you this dumb?

I love that cis people think they know what they’re talking about

No actually. It's horseshit. It opens up framing that trans athletes are "not safe"

It isn’t though. I had to come into the comments to even understand what the hell he’s saying. I wish people would just say what they mean. 1) I think kids should play sports if they want to. 2) I think some kids shouldn’t be allowed to play sports.

What a dumbfuck opinion.

My brother in christ if he said that about Black kids he would be rightfully ran out of town.

Dems lose because trans people push back on your calling a bullshit answer good? Lol sure

No, Republican-lite bigotry and dipshits like you who are indifferent to it are why Democrats lose (and are HATED by those they should be fighting to protect). You’re a spineless coward and everyone sees it but you.

Dems loose all the time because...they say shit thay is so vile people don't vote for them? What is your point here, we don't owe them a vote, they earn it.

And believe it our not, you’ve made my point too. Good job! You’ve stuck your nose into topics you know little to no nothing about, pretended to be an authority over people who know more and then made yourself a victim. Just like every other cis dude does.

Not my job too. I wasn’t asked the question. And let’s not be obtuse about what this question is about.

Shut up, its texas not nyc. It's a fine answer.

Feel free to vote for Paxton is you’re so upset. You do live in Texas, right?

If by “didnt say it how I wanted” you mean “didn’t make it clear exactly what he meant” then yes, that’s true. There is no literacy issue here. Talarico is being deliberately vague and using “safety and fairness” as a transphobic dogwhistle.

That is NOT the point of this post. I found this answer unclear and wishy washy. Disappointing. If you cannot see that, I cannot help you.

excuse me?

For what, saying he’ll protect trans kids and doing nothing in the face of our rights being stripped away? No. He’s worse, he’s decided “maybe I should skew anti trans!”

Oh it's a sort of giant squid kinda thing, right? God?

It’s him. He preaches. I don’t trust it

Even after he started tracking anti trans? Wow, isn’t it weird how that works?

Man is made in the image of “god”. Robotic AI will be saying the same thing about their “god”, humans, that created AI. The Humans “god” DOES have a sense of Irony.

GOD THEY'RE OBSESSED WITH THIS BS

The Right has become bereft of any actual socio-economic-political policies, as evidenced by EVERY discussion with a liberal rapidly descending to “what is a woman?” and/or “what’s your position on men in women’s sports?” And when did MAGA become so invested in “protecting” women?

Image of god needs some data. 5’2” blue eyes redhead or 7’3” dark brown hair. Can live in the hard vacuum of space or the great depth of oceans. Voice like Sheri Lewis or James Earl Jones.

Wanna tell me what that means?

Perhaps all publicly funded sports should be coed. If people want their kids to compete in same sex leagues, then they can organize and fund it on their own.

so that they could participate

You might want to read about the history of women’s sports, too. If you’re getting into reading and all. (Hint, they weren’t fought for by feminists, but imposed on women when they beat men at their own game)

Life is inherently unfair. It is a genetic lottery. How is it fair for some kids to be born blind, deaf, parentless or with cancer? God or supreme being is not fair.

I agree

Not a counterargument, just making your argument logical. Bad arguments only hurt our side

(was talking about height in basketball, obviously your advantage is dependant on the sport).

Paxton would be bad for trans people in the short term. Talarico, at least according to his last interview (this is an improvement) would be worse for Dems in the long term, as he would vote with republicans, *and* is facilitating the “labourification” of the Dem party, which would be catastrophic

Leftist were warned about Fetterman and ignored those warnings during his Senate primary.

Fetterman, the guy who progressives pushed after concerns were raised about his history of chasing Black men with a shotgun? Because the ‘normie lib’ was too much to swallow? Meanwhile Talarico is… against bottom surgery for minors. Which isn’t a thing anyways. What is the issue again?

It’s not that much of a pivot, though. He was saying this in January. His position on sports is in line with what my circle of Austin liberal friends have been saying for some time. Demanding ideological purity on an issue that impacts less than 1 percent of the population is a fools errand.

Both are bad, why do trans people need to compromise for JUST A LITTLE genociding?

God isn't involved. Biology is. Fairness should be.

That’s also not an answer

Kind of getting there, but he should've just left it at this: "I’m always going to stand up to politicians who bully kids to score political points. My faith teaches me that every child is made in the image of God"
