The radical left's war on biological reality just got a new champion in Texas. State Rep. James Talarico, who recently secured the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate, made the jaw-dropping claim in 2021 that there are "six really common biological sexes" while fighting against legislation to ban biological men from competing in women's sports.
Talarico's science-denying declaration came during heated debate in the Texas State Legislature over a measure sponsored by GOP Rep. Cole Hefner to protect female athletes from unfair competition. While Republicans fought to preserve fairness in women's sports, Talarico pushed woke ideology that completely ignores basic biology.
This is the man Texas Democrats have chosen to represent them in the U.S. Senate race – someone who can't even acknowledge the fundamental scientific fact that there are two biological sexes. How can Texans trust someone to make critical decisions about healthcare, education, and family policy when he rejects basic biological reality?
Talarico managed to defeat Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary, with election results showing him capturing 52.9% of the vote (1,174,898) compared to Crockett's 45.7% (1,014,693). Social media users noted the significance of his victory, with one observer pointing out that "Talarico was the one who turned [voters] out" among Latino communities in Texas.
But here's what's truly disturbing: while Talarico was busy inventing imaginary biological sexes, female athletes across Texas were being told their achievements, scholarships, and safety didn't matter. His radical gender ideology puts women and girls at risk while advancing the left's assault on common sense and parental rights.
This Senate race will be a clear choice between Trump's America First agenda and the Democrats' radical woke ideology that denies basic science. Texans deserve a senator who will fight for their values, not someone who thinks there are six sexes and wants men competing against their daughters.
"The main issue is that Crockett didn't seem to understand the vast majority of nonvoters in Texas are 1) Latino and 2) either conservative or fairly apolitical," one political observer noted on social media, suggesting Talarico's victory came despite – not because of – his radical positions.
Will Texas voters reject this dangerous ideology and elect a senator who believes in biological reality? The future of women's sports and parental rights may depend on it.
