Claimant: Ken Paxton’s campaign
Claim: James Talarico said there are six genders.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: Talarico did not say there are six genders. In a 2021 legislative hearing, he said there were “six” biological sexes while discussing chromosome variations and intersex conditions, after explicitly distinguishing sex from gender. He later said there are two sexes with a small percentage of people having genetic abnormalities.
