Talarico says he ‘missed the mark’ in claiming there are ‘six sexes’

Texas girls sports needed two sexes. The Democrat nominee first sold six.

Summary

  • The Washington Examiner reports Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, in his first general-election interview on Fox News' The Story with Martha MacCallum, said he 'missed the mark' on a past claim that there are six sexes.
  • Talarico said, 'What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there's a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities. I obviously didn't say it correctly. There are not six sexes. There are two.'
  • The Examiner notes the original comment came while discussing legislation that would bar biological men who identify as transgender from girls' K-12 sports.
  • The cleanup quote arrived only after the Senate race moved to the general election, not when the six-sexes line was first sold to voters.

Commentary

A Fort Worth gym mom still sits on a vinyl bleacher and can tell a locker room from a thought experiment. She did not pay the booster fee so a Senate nominee could invent four extra sexes to keep a boy on her daughter's heat sheet.

Six. Then two. First general interview. The honest dad already paid the lane. The campaign paid the cleanup.

Look every working father who still drives a girl to a Friday meet in the eye and answer this: if a nominee needed a primetime do-over to remember there are two sexes, who still owns the next girls' final?

MacCallum. First general interview. Six became two. Hold that chain.

I stood a gate so a roster stayed honest. A genetic abnormality is not a fourth, fifth, or sixth sex.

K-12 girls sports bill. Biological men out. Two sexes. Publish the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied schools still run a girls' heat as girls. A cleanup quote is not a statute.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Talarico. Examiner. The Story. File the four.

I still clock a dock at 2 a.m. I want the next final run on a body, not on a slogan.

A bleacher full of daughters is not a seminar. It is a warning the street already paid.

A six-sexes line is a second border around a girls' locker room. The first biology class should have been enough.

u/press_clip · 30m

The Examiner printed two sexes and the K-12 bill. Argue those nouns.

Keep the girls' roster. Keep the two sexes. A late cleanup is not a coach.
