There was an interesting implication to Jackson's answer that she cannot define what a woman is as she isn't a biologist, as it suggests she believes the task of defining what a woman is belongs to the field of biology.
ReplyDeleteThe more obvious issue is that if a judge can't define "woman" then how will they rule on title IX cases? If the law has no say in how a woman is defined, then how can the law say whether a woman is discriminated against? etc etc
DeleteHer answer tells us how she is going to rule. Hence the Orwellian "she was treated worse than Kavanaugh" spin.
DeleteShe herself can, obviously.
ReplyDeleteThat's the difference between tyranny and freedom. Tyrants called her a slave. When someone else decides to make the determination, not even knowing the person or the circumstances, this is tyranny.
Tyranny is dominant state-corporate-cultural elites emptying words of meaning and trying to remake human nature into an image more congenial to their interests. A lifelong consumer dependent upon hormones, expensive medical intervention and specialty goods is an ideal serf.

I would easily concede "tyranny" if the so-called dscce's insisted we divorce our wives, cut off our penises, and marry people they designated as intersex. But that's not happening.
DeleteTrying to enforce courtesy may be just a little more effective than tattling on bullies in middle school. Offended persons might end up with a shade of the law on their hands.
I don't see the problem with treating people respectfully. It's a big country, after all. If someone doesn't like it, just do what lots of folks do on the internet: hang out with people just like them and pretend everybody else doesn't exist.
