re: Republicans have beat the trans issue to death

The trans issue is one of the vanguards of the Marxist assault on western civilization. It doesn’t amount to much of an impact when you consider the numbers, but it has an important ratcheting effect on culture. It should be soundly defeated.

I'm not part of youth culture, but contemporary social conservatism often leads to youth culture rejecting it, so if I had to wager money, it was an extension of that.

I reckon your view of what he says is framed in a way to amplify this message, and, again, you're proving my point about NPC culture.

But Talarico really, really does for some reason. won't shut the frick up about it.

"I've been consistent on this issue," he said, explaining his opposition to a Texas bill to ban transgender surgeries on minors by saying the measure "was overly broad."

"If you go back and check, I voted for a major amendment to limit the bill to banning surgeries for minors," Talarico said. "As a lawmaker, my job is to try to sift through everything the bill does. And sometimes there's stuff in it that's really harmful, and I have no choice but to oppose the bill as a whole."

"It's why I try to use amendments, to narrow the focus of the bill so that it does exactly what we intend it to do," he continued. "It's what I tried to do with that piece of legislation, and unfortunately, the amendment I supported was unsuccessful."

While a Texas state representative in 2023, Talarico voted against SB 14, which prohibited certain transgender surgery, puberty blockers, and hormone treatments for minors. Democrats proposed 18 amendments to the bill, all of which Talarico voted in favor of and ultimately failed.

Regarding men in women’s sports, Talarico said, "I oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it endangers safety or fairness."

Another comment Talarico previously made was that there are six genders, which he addressed.

"I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it," he said. "What I meant is that there are two sexes, and then there's a small percentage of people with genetic abnormalities."

"Obviously didn't say it correctly. There are not six sexes. There are two, and I think the reason that politicians in that convention center across the street want to talk about six sexes is because they don't want to talk about $6 diesel," Talarico added.
