00:13:05.720I want us all to be aware of is that that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes.
00:13:15.520In fact, there are six, which honestly, Representative Hefner surprised me, too, surprised me, too, because I am not well versed in this this issue area.
00:13:26.560I'm a politician, a lot worse than a scientist.
00:13:32.120So he says it's obvious that there are six biological sexes, according to modern science.
00:13:37.180So there's the arrogance we're all familiar with from these people.
00:13:40.560And then he suggests that modern science is infallible.
00:13:44.100So we all need to agree that, effective immediately, there are six biological sexes.
00:13:48.720So fortunately, you know, he doesn't provide the names of those six biological sexes, which is what we always find with these people that say there's more than one sex.
00:13:57.720But as best I can tell, he's referring to people with chromosomal disorders like Turner syndrome, where children are born without the typical XX or XY chromosomes.
00:14:06.240A child might be born with a single X chromosome, for example.
00:14:09.420This doesn't mean that the child belongs to a new biological sex, obviously.
00:14:12.700What it means is that the child has a developmental abnormality that exists within the established sex binary.
00:14:19.540And we know that because these developmental abnormalities do not lead to the creation of new reproductive cells or reproductive pathways, which is the definition of a biological sex.
00:14:29.420If you're a member of a distinct biological sex, it means that your body creates distinct reproductive cells that, when combined with other reproductive cells from another biological sex, create a new organism.
00:14:41.640So put another way, somebody with a developmental disorder might produce eggs or sperm or neither, in which case they'd be infertile or sterile.
00:14:51.420But they don't produce a third type of cell that enables the creation of a new organism.
00:14:59.340Now, what's important to understand about Tallarico, and this might be why some Democrats were fooled into thinking that he was a moderate, is that he will deliver complete falsehoods with total sincerity.
00:15:10.160I mean, he'll look you in the eye very calmly and just lie with impunity.
00:15:15.560The more you listen, the more unsettling it becomes.
00:15:17.860For example, watch how he voiced his opposition to a bill that would prevent boys from competing in girls' sports.
00:15:25.100Let's see exactly why Tallarico wants men to compete against women.
00:15:31.560Before my constituents elected me to this body, I taught middle school.
00:15:35.520And my students are the reason I'm here, to make public policy that improves their lives.
00:15:43.440But instead, we're doing this, endangering the lives of some of our most vulnerable children to solve a problem that doesn't exist.
00:15:53.080When she laid out this bill in front of the public education committee, Representative Swanson summed up the justification for this legislation in one sentence.
00:16:04.400She said, if one girl loses a game, this bill is worth it.
00:16:08.920I guess we just have a different moral yardstick.
00:16:14.020Because I say, if one trans child dies to protect someone's damn trophy, this bill is grotesque.
00:16:22.320It's both masculine and feminine and everything in between.
