## Summary

Soren Aldaco, a 23-year-old detransitioner, says she sought to attend a CNN town hall with Texas Senate candidate James Talarico to speak with him about gender transition policies. She alleges organisers replied only the evening before the event and told her she could not participate, renewing her criticism that he has not engaged with her concerns.

The town hall, hosted by CNN and Jubilee Media on 14 October, included audience questions about Talarico’s past comments on gender and faith. Aldaco says she contacted him over five bills across four years and two legislative sessions, but did not get a response; she argues he should address the consequences of his earlier statements. A Texas Supreme Court ruling in June allowed her claims against a therapist and counselling provider to proceed past a filing deadline, reversing a lower court decision. CNN did not respond to a request for comment.
