How on earth can this be considered a moderate stance? Just say “state laws should not be where we address these issues” and be done with it. If there’s nuance, then it’s something to be sorted by the sports league itself. If there’s just transphobia, it needs to be called out and then ignored.

    He’d said something a lot less clear at the beginning of the week (which the Texas Tribune article is about), but when progressives told him that wasn’t good enough he made a more clear statement (which is what the Erin in the Morning article focuses on) I would have rather just shared the second article, but substack blogs get removed in this community so it had to hitch a ride on a slightly out of date article At any rate, my ultimate takeaway from this is that I still don’t like some things Talarico has said on the campaign trail, but I think he will listen to his base and do the right thing when he’s pressured in office (well, assuming he wins his race anyway) e; Also, above and beyond campaign rhetoric, one place where he’s still dead wrong on policy is (from the EitM article) Talarico still pledges to support a national ban on surgical interventions that help transgender youth, which may include top surgery or hormone implants.
