Valid points 
I didn’t hear any of this about Talarico. As they say “links” please.

I'll give ya the pedophilia, then the misogyny:

Texas State Representative and 2026 Democratic U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has a staunchly progressive record on transgender issues, frequently championing transgender youth and framing his LGBTQ+ advocacy in Christian and theological terms. [1, 2]

Now the woman hating, the desire to kill his mother, thinly veiled:

• Talarico voted against Texas bills that sought to ban gender-affirming medical care for minors and restricted transgender athletes from participating in K-12 and collegiate sports. [1]
• "God is Non-Binary" Speech: During a 2021 Texas House floor debate opposing anti-trans legislation, Talarico made headlines by stating, "God is non-binary". He later defended the remark, citing biblical verses and arguing that the divine transcends human gender binaries. [1, 2]
• Stances on Science: In the same 2021 legislative session, he asserted that science recognizes more than two biological sexes. [1]
• General Election Adjustments: In his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, Talarico’s progressive stance on gender became a central target for GOP attack ads. Consequently, Talarico has walked back or expressed regret for some of his more provocative past comments, acknowledging that specific statements regarding race and gender "missed the mark" and shifted focus away from core economic issues. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Advocacy for Youth: Talarico has continued to push back against conservative criticisms, frequently reaffirming that transgender youth are made in God's image and emphasizing his position that gender-affirming care should not be classified as child abuse. [1, 2]

For further details on his policy positions and past statements, you can read more coverage from The Texas Tribune or review The Advocate's analysis of his LGBTQ+ record.

Maybe you feel the women in YOUR family should share cells and sporting fields with men?

I don't hate my mother, so I'm on the other side on that issue. 

I'll root for Paxton.
