    You rightwing religious types are struggling with how to convince people that a few cells in a womb are a person.

    Teachers' unions represent teachers. I'll let you in on a little secret about teachers—they support teachers' unions because they protect teachers against attacks from people who say things like "teachers are acting like they're your parents."

    Thank you for proving that it isn't just liberals who sound more idiotic the more they speak.

    When it comes to 'what is a woman' I don't have to "think" about it or "dodge the question". I also know Bruce Jenner and William Thomas are neither one a woman.

    Sure there is. There are multiple areas where the definition of a woman doesn't have to be limited to anatomy. In fact, there are only a select few situations where your birth gender actually does matter.


    As opposed to a post-op transsexual...

    Nothing misogynistic about pointing out a shallow dumb statement.

    But you're right, defining things is important when it comes to matters of law. But the situation that the woman in the OP is commenting on is not one that is lacking definition. She knows it, I know it, you know it. It was a gotcha comment that served more to highlight her boorishness than to address an issue related to abortion.

    They also shield teachers from accountability and make sure they get paid even if they are unfit to have contact with students. Have you ever heard of the "rubber room"

    What the school system needs is competition.

    I will be happy to address anyone with the pronoun they consider respectful, but that doesn't mean they are fooling anyone. A man may identify as a woman and alter their appearance, but it is still just a facade. In other parts of the world, an elongated head and neck are considered feminine.

    So for those what want to project an image of femininity, they can pierce their bottom lip and wear a plate if they like. Pursue happiness as long as you can pay for it yourself.

    Justice Jackson declined/refused to provide an answer. That's a fact, not propaganda.

    FAIL

    First of all, I'm an Agnostic.

    Secondly, a few cells in the womb are called blastomeres.

    Third, I have never tried to convince people that blastomeres are persons.

    Finally, you really should avoid making ignorant assumptions about people and what they think.

    From where I know, human rights covers all humans, regardless of gender identity.
    It is simply a question of whether the subject is a human being or not. If so they enjoy the same rights and anyone else.

    That is a great rebuttal to an argument no one made. Generic pronouns are fine to put on a name tag, but doctors need more than "human" when prescribing treatment. Surgeons and athletes do not have the luxury of this sweeping generalization.

    As far as rights, both parties are working to erode rights.

    She answered it.

    Nope.

    No I cannot.

    And then in the middle of trying to explain that answer suggesting that she's not a biologist seems like it was a fully fleshed out thought.

    Where was the interuption?

    Which would mean that infertile women aren't women.

    Do you really think the future justice doesn't know what a woman is? Perhaps she was trying to avoid an obvious "gotcha" moment. If the senator truly wanted information on transgender or other sexual beleifs she should have asked straight out not in such a way to avoid the real question, but that would have reflected poorly on the Senator.

    Infertility is not the line. The beauty is that nature (not surgery) is developing you with a predisposition(strong likihood) towards gestation.

    Doesn't mean you can procreate. Which is what makes this definition gold! It includes girls before puberty and women past menopause as still falling under the umbrella of the definition of woman.

    It excludes anyone trying to do the same through surgery or make up. You know...methods not of nature.

    Easy definition. Does the trick. Is clear in its definition and only includes exactly whom it should.

    If someone is, and always has been, infertile, then they have no "predisposition toward gestation."

    Ahh but the definition only states a strong likelihood.

    Worse still, what they've been propagandized to believe about schools is nonsense.

    Someone who has always been infertile has no likelihood, much less a "strong" one.

    You mean you don't believe teachers are trying to talk every kid into being gay or trans? That's how it works right? Every gay person and transgender are so because they were talked into it. Everyone knows that...I mean duh.

    That's not the definition the definition says nature developed you with a predisposition towards gestation...it doesn't claim you ever have to get there.

    Not only are you apparently confused as to the definition of woman, but also the words towards and predisposition.

    English is hard. Don't feel bad

    If I say this baseball player had a predisposition towards stealing bases. It doesn't mean he's going to steal bases. Just that he most likely will.

    Avoiding the gotcha would have been defining the word. Playing into the gotcha is stating that she's not a biologist.

    She done failed hard
