Just this week the issue of defining male and female came up in a very significant way during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson. She was asked by Senator Marsha Blackburn, “Can you provide a definition for the word ’woman’?, and after a short back-and-forth, Jackson ultimately said: “No, I can’t.”

“You can’t?” Blackburn asked. “Not in this context. I’m not a biologist,” Jackson said.
