    No, I'm going to keep shoving the truth in your face as long as you continue to deny it:

    SEN. BLACKBURN: "Can you provide a definition for the word 'woman'?"
    SC NOMINEE JACKSON: "Can I provide a definition?"
    SEN. BLACKBURN: "Yeah."
    SC NOMINEE JACKSON: "I can't."


    Maybe you should play your little game somewhere else. This isn't going well for you....

    Better teachers often end up getting jobs in districts like Palos Verdes.
    Disclosure: I was a student in LAUSD and Palos Verdes School District, overjoyed to get out of LA schools.

    Way too many kids are drugged silly, though some clearly benefit from medication.

    Competition? I support school vouchers providing they're for enough money to allow lower- and middle-income families to choose a decent private school without having to top up the voucher with money they don't have.

    Here is what you're ignoring:

    Senator Blackburn: Okay, can you provide a definition for the word "woman?"

    Judge Jackson: Can I provide a definition for the word "woman?" No.

    Senator Blackburn: Um hum. Yeah.

    Judge Jackson: No, I can't.

    Senator Blackburn: You can't?

    Judge Jackson: Not in this context? I'm not a biologist.

    Senator Blackburn: [Interrupting] So the meaning of the word "woman" is so unclear and controversial you can't give me a definition?

    Judge Jackson: Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is address disputes. If there is a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law, and I decide. So I'm not...

    Senator Blackburn: [Interrupting] The fact you can't give me a straight answer about something as fundamental as what a woman is underscores […]​

    Fair enough. On the issue of ADHD, that condition did not exist until there was a drug for sale. When I was in school, we just knew that kids were wiggly and had had short attention spans. One of my teachers had a great strategy. When he noticed a student getting restless, he would ask him/her to run an urgent message to the office. Be quick!!! Being able to burn off excess energy was very effective.

    They told me my sons ADHD was so severe, he would end up in prison if we didn't put him on meds. I changed his diet, bought him a drum kit and a skateboard, and put him in sports. Cured!

    Really women are the ONLY one affected? Pray tell, who else do you think exists that makes it possible for a women to get pregnant? Other women I guess:). Fathers don’t exist. Hehe. And depending how you define a woman then a man with a penis who dresses like a woman is a woman….right?

    But you’re not getting this. Leftists truly believe that a “woman” with a fake penis who identifies as a man can get pregnant. And she can’t be a woman because she says he’s a man. And a man he she is. Hey I don’t make these crazy rules :)

    Why she couldn't answer the question as to what is a woman is irrelevant. It's a very simple question of which she is one. She said very clearly that she couldn't answer it. Which is ridiculous.

    That's where you are confused

    Hence you can't change your sex or gender you can only pretend you have done so.

    Yeah, she declined/refused to provide an answer. I've been saying that for TWO DAYS NOW.

    Her evasiveness is typical "progressive" inanity, but as Liz Wheeler suggested (in the OP), if you can't define what woman is, you can't define what a woman's rights are, and if you can't define what a woman's rights are, you can't secure a woman's rights.

    THAT person doesn't have ten toes.

    When we define human physiology, it's always 'ten toes;. Ten toes is the natural state of the species. Random deviations are not relevant in any way.

    Hahaha .. what a blunder. This happens so often you'd think they'd realise by now, that an ideology built on fleeting moods is going to contradict itself in a million ways.

    The dangers of not thinking any of it through.

    Thinking something is cool is not 'knowing' about it.

    No there isn't.

    ADULT HUMAN FEMALE.

    That's it. There may be different terms used to describe the same thing, but BIOLOGY determines only that definition.

    I'm sorry you think that someone missing a toe is not a human. I disagree. I had a friend who lost his left big toe in a pipeline accident last year. I still regard him as human. Why don't you?

    I'm literally talking to people who are literally claiming that penguins are "predisposed to fly." I know it is dumb, but that is the argument they are making.

    I don't think she makes a good point at all. Why must someone who can give birth be defined? Only females can give birth, so what is the problem?

    No, and I never said it was. It was, however, the argument I was directly responding to. I'm glad you haven't made such a terrible argument, not would I expect you to. But I was responding to people who had.

    Yet it matches the "logic" presented.

    If a transwoman wants me to treat him as a her, I will, I don't want to fight.

    But, I can't change how I think. To me, they are effeminate males. In my view, they are lying if they think they are women.

    But, what do I know? And I don't want to fight, I'll call them whatever they want to call them. If they want me to treat them as I would any woman, with respect, no problem. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, if they are decent people.

    But don't ask me to think it. That I can't do, sorry.

    Fighting about such things just isn't worth it.

    I real some people have gender dysphoria, well, welcome to the cold, cruel, world, and I got my own problems, too. You just gotta live with who you are, that's the best lesson anyone can learn, in my humble opinion.

    That being said:

    I fully support the rights of transgender people to live free from the fear of violence, to use public facilities as they wish, to participate in competitive sports, and to enjoy fair and equal education and employment opportunities.
