In case you haven’t lately counted sexes, a Texas Democrat’s reminding everyone of the tally…
Scientifically speaking, at least.
State Rep. James Talarico addressed the state’s Public Education Committee last week over legislation that would ban biological males from girls’ K-12 scholastic sports.
The former English teacher asked Republican Rep. Cole Hefner — sponsor of HB4042 — how many sexes there are.
As reported by The Washington Times, Cole responded with…”two.”
“The bill seems to think there are two,” James replied.
The representative — who received his M.A. in education policy from Harvard — dropped some science.
And awareness:
“The one thing I want us to all be aware of…is that modern science, obviously, recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes.”
Make note:
“In fact, there are six. Which — honestly, Rep. Hefner — surprised me, too.”
He’s no expert, so he consulted those who are:
“‘Cause I, you know, am not well-versed in this issue area — I’m not a scientist, I’m a politician…”
If it wasn't recorded, you wouldn't believe us.

James referred to the half-dozen as “six really common biological sexes.”
Here’s a breakdown:
XX (female)
XY (male)
X
XXY
XYY
XXXY
Of course, if the topic is gender rather than sex, things open up quite substantially.
We’ve come a long way where the concept’s concerned.
At a point, some began using “gender” — a grammatical term — in place of “sex.”
Then it was said gender — wholly different than sex — is a social construct.
Following that, we were told gender — comprised of male and female — is still separate from sex yet innate.
Amid that last revelation, alternate genders were introduced — by way of brand spanking pronouns.
A few:
(f)ae
e/ey
per
ve
xe
ze/zie
sie
tey
e
Most recently, we’ve been informed of “noun self pronouns.”
From my April 14th coverage:
As reported by The New York Times, progress has produced “noun-self” pronouns.
These new representations can reference animals or “fantasy characters.”
For instance, you’re welcome to shove-off “she” and become “bun/bunself.”
For you lads who lick your liquids and leak in a litter box, give “he” the heave-ho and purr to the possibilities of “kitten/kittenself.”
I feel certain someone in the Comments wouldn’t mind metamorphosing via “vamp/vampself.”
And if you’re royally rad in a Meghan Markle manner, “prin/cess/princesself” might just be the aristocratic elevation you deserve.
But what if you feel a common phrase more accurately indicates the inner you?
Get innit to winnit — “innit/innits/innitself” is on offer.
About sex — which is to say, biology — surely most Americans have been taught it’s a deuce.
Rep. James dispelled that notion:
“The point is that, biologically speaking, scientifically speaking, sex is a spectrum and oftentimes can be very ambiguous.”
Beth Stelzer — president of Save Women’s Sports — begged to differ.
Studies have proven, she told the legislature, “that the male advantage is immutable [in athletics], and there are in fact two sexes. They are dimorphic: XX, XY.”
Beth asserted the other four are only variants:
“The other, quote, sexes mentioned are disorders of sexual development that are variants of XX or XY chromosomes. They are still disorders of male or female.”
Concerning James’s contention that there are “obviously” six, conservative author Dinesh D’Souza chimed via Twitter:
The only thing obvious here is this man’s stupidity.

On the other hand, James’s alma mater agrees that two would be low-balling it:
More than two sexes, and fluid #gender? Sounds good to me, #Harvard https://t.co/juDqakbZY1 #LGBTQ+ #highered #anthropology

As for the bill, Texas isn’t alone. Nearly 30 states are considering similar measures.
On Friday, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed one into law.
Nonetheless, it may be tricky to regulate which sex can compete with which, if we can’t even figure out how many sexes there are.
Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen. And you others, too.
1. He’s a dimbulbcrat.
2. He therefore follows ‘science’. (Not real science, but media science.)
3. He therefore believes anything, since he has not the intellect or education to go beyond third grade science demonstration “volcanos”.
QED
Why are these people in congress? Shouldn’t they be in an insane asylum?
Personally, I’m going to stick to the Adam and Eve scenario !
What an idiot. Harvard has truly turned into a joke.
We need to institute the neuter gender to no shortage of Politicians.
Name the six sexes if they do, indeed exist.
Science now means feeling + emotions, not data, empirical evidence and/or hard proof. Anyone who says otherwise will be destroyed.
Of course, b/c he's a Dim, the media will report his total BS as if as axiomatic fact.
M.A. in “education policy”?
Wow, we now have a degree carrying even less respect than your typical bottom dwelling “eddikashun” degree.
Heh, he’ll get a “doctorate” in that silly subject and then expect us to call him “doctor”. As in Doctor Dipsh**.
Just once , on live TV, I would like to see someone call him out and say: “You sir are an idiot.”
WHAT!?! WTAF???
Anything other than XX or XY is NOT “really common”. The most common of these, XXY, also known as Klinefelter syndrome, occurs at a rate of 1 out of every 500 to 1000 males. The others are even less common than that.
XX (female)
XY (male)
X
XXY
XYY
XXXY
Paging Inigo Montoya...
The state says there are 57 genders. How many do you see, Winston?
There could be something to this. After all, I’m a lesbian trapped inside a male body.
He should have said at least seven. Trisomy X (XXX) is rare, but real.
By the way, if you tell an XYY that he’s something other than a man, he is more likely than a regular XY to beat you up.
He may have a genetic abnormality, but he is most certainly male.
I have a half brother(would like to see the DNA Test) who claims that he is a woman. He said, he has a right as an “aunt” to my children to be able to know them.
I told him, if he ever contacts any of my children, he will be lucky to walk again.
and this is supposed to be considered serious. This is what society has descended to? What REALLY worries me is that I know that this is NOT the end, these sick degenerate amoral scum will just keep creeping towards some insane amoral stench-ridden insanity. Next up to the plate... NAMBLA. Just you wait and see. We are just months, maybe even weeks from pedophiles “legally” stalking, defiling, perverting... children.
