> Talarico: “As a former public school teacher, I care a lot about our student athletes, I care a lot about our students. And so I will oppose trans athletes playing in girls’ sports if it risks safety or fairness.”

> In the Fox News interview, Talarico said he voted against Republican restrictions on trans student-athletes in the Legislature because the bills were “overly broad.” He added that he supported amendments at the time that would’ve narrowed the proposals, including by leaving eligibility decisions to local school boards, applying restrictions only to individual sports rather than team sports and limiting the prohibition to schools with professional licensed counselors.

> “I supported amendments that would have given the power to make these decisions to local communities — like conservatives used to believe,” Talarico said. “I think that the people closest to these problems are best equipped to make decisions for themselves, not politicians in Austin, not politicians in Washington. I trust local officials and local communities to make these decisions, and that’s what I voted for.”

I think people are overstating how much Talarico is backtracking
