'Modern science' says there are six sexes, Democratic Texas state legislator insists
The Washington Times ^ | APRIL 22, 2021 | VALERIE RICHARDSON

A Harvard-educated Texas Democratic lawmaker drew double-takes for declaring at a hearing that there are six sexes, prompting a rebuke from skeptics who said his count was off by four.

Texas state Rep. James Talarico made his pronouncement prior to public testimony Tuesday before the Public Education Committee on House Bill 4042, a measure to bar transgender athletes from girls’ K-12 scholastic sports.

Mr. Talarico, a former English teacher, first quizzed Republican state Rep. Cole Hefner, the bill’s sponsor, on how many sexes there are. Mr. Hefner said there were two.

“The bill seems to think there are two,” said Mr. Talarico, who holds an M.A. in education policy from Harvard. “The one thing I want us to all be aware of recognize is that modern science obviously recognizes that there are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six, which honestly, Rep. Hefner, surprised me, too.”

He explained that there are “six really common biological sexes” based on X and Y chromosomes: Not just XX (female) and XY (male), but also single X, XXY, XYY and XXXY.

“The point is that biologically speaking, scientifically speaking, sex is a spectrum, and oftentimes can be very ambiguous,” Mr. Talarico said.

Not having it was Beth Stelzer, president of Save Women’s Sports, who testified in favor of the bill.

She cited scientific studies “proving that the male advantage is immutable [in athletics], and there are in fact two sexes. They are dimorphic: XX, XY.”

“The other, quote, sexes mentioned are disorders of sexual development that are variants of XX or XY chromosomes,” Ms. Stelzer said at the hearing. “They are still disorders of male or female.”

A single X would be an unfertilized egg - a hsploid.

A single X is a female with Turner syndrome.

Here are the others. The leading number is the total number of chromosomes instead of the typical 46.

Trisomies:
47,XXY (Klinefelter syndrome)
47,XXX (Trisomy X)

Tetrasomies:
48,XXYY
48,XXXY
48,XXXX

Pentasomies:
49,XXXXY
49,XXXXX

Ding ding. Chromosomal abnormalities don’t create another sex; that’s why they’re called abnormalities. On top of that, they’re exceedingly rare.

those without a y chromosome are female regardless of how many x chromosomes they have.

Absolutely correct. Not even debatable. Yet here the Left is debating it.

Just like they debate the settled science of sexual dimorphism.

I'm pretty sure that, without any chromosomes, you'd be DEAD (or, more properly, never have been alive).

Another “Harvard” graduate (MA = Master Asshole degree). And he was an English teacher too. The guy wants to destroy everyone around him.

I say let the legislature give him an “X” grade re his stupidity and put him in the corner for the rest of the year.

But even if they let the determination of the chromosomes define one’s,sex, it is still not a matter for each person to declare,
however he wills.

The d chromosome. Sounds like a treatable disease. Maybe moderna and pfizer could hel by injecting single stranded mrna that need additional nucleotides to form complex protein structures. Wink wink.

None of those are ‘different’ sexes, they are genetic anomalies. But just saying ‘Harvard’ sways many people to the wrong conclusion.

Example: XO is called Turner’s Syndrome. The young girl is beautiful, but sterile and has other differences. Genetic anomalies do not make a ‘new sex’ of the person.
