There’s definitely a definition for what is a woman
What's a female?
By the way I'm not being contrarian. I'm demonstrating why Jackson was smart to dodge the question rather than try to give a real answer.
Saying "What's that?" ad nauseum isn't a gotcha moment though. And that's the road "What's a female?" is sending you down. Female is a pretty universally used and accepted term to define many living things, beyond just people.
It was a gotcha question because the intent was to get her to give a definition that could be picked apart. She would either say something that was too general and the Republicans were key in on it, or should would say something too restrictive and all the super liberal people would turn on her. It was basically a way to deflect away from her credentials and stances and focus in on some bullshit.
Female is universally used, but that doesn't always mean people can easily give you a definition. The dictionary definition of a female is "the sex that is capable of bearing children or producing eggs." So the trans people and their allies will immediately bring up two or three conditions that cause infertility in women and then ask whether those women are still women. It's a bad faith argument, but people aren't trying to be honest actors in dialogs anymore. Everyone just wants to "win."
some of ya'll need to go outside and touch somegrass
I want them to get laid brother MorganThese niggas got allergies and sleep apnea so they couldn't go outside and play like normal folks
Say what you want, and let people that disagree disagree. Republicans running for office have no problem answering the question. You can say "Generally speaking, a biological female. Of course there are uncommon conditions that may prevent someone from perfectly fitting that definition"
She was scared of not giving the perfect answer and losing democratic votes that she needed. Politic games.
This is why they do it. Because they know people will excuse them based off the situation. It’s just sad all around. She can’t answer . People making her answer seem normal.
“Can you define woman” being a gotcha question is just mind blowing itself.
Y’all can’t define what a woman is? I would hate to see what y’all lay with at night.
Bruh, you're thinking like a normal everyday person. She was going through an inherently political process. It's silly to think she could navigate that without playing political games. She wasn't scared of not giving the perfect answer. She was trying not to fall into an obvious trap. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you.
You guys are being dim. It's not that her or anyone else can't give a definition. The problem is that the question was disingenuous. It was a political trap. You're thinking like she was just on here having a discussion among us. She wasn't. She was on a stage where saying the wrong thing could have cost her. You don't have to like the process, but the process is what it is, and she's the one that had to navigate it. It's easy for you niggas to sit on here and say what should have been done when there's a good chance you'll never be in that position to begin with.
When did this become ok though? Not answering important questions, and hiding your true opinions to get elected. Then delivering the real you that you've been hiding once you're in power.
We can't act like it's not wack, and give a pass, just because of who's doing it.
you still believe her answer was based on legal definition?
Senator, to the extent that you are asking me about who has the ability to bring lawsuits based on gender, those kinds of issues are working their way through the courts and I'm not able to comment on them.
lol It's been like that forever man.
It is wack, and it's typically why people don't like politicians. Politician has almost been synonymous with liar for ages.
i think that may depend on the sport. in my eyes a transwoman has the advantage over a woman in a boxing match, weight lifting competition, etc.
but in swimming? hurdling? volleyball? it’s more of a toss up
but i’m not knowledgeable in the transitioning process. so idk what medications or treatment a transwoman may take to “level” the playing field
i don’t have all the answers, but I do think transwoman’s presence in women athletics isn’t as prevalent as some make it out to be
and since we can’t name any transwoman athletes without a google search, it’s hard to make an argument that they’re “dominating” anything
What are we becoming
