Ketanji Brown Jackson, who is on track to become the first Black female US Supreme Court justice, responded: "I'm not a biologist."

Is this a good thing? As in, she believes that biologists are the ones who can truly define women, which therefore implies women are defined by biology alone. Or is it yet another denial to obfuscate the simple truth, as in "It's too complicated for an ordinary (non-biologist) person to tell who is a woman".

Shameful US woke media claiming that science has no simple answer to "what is a woman?" : www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2022/03/24/marsha-blackburn-asked-ketanji-jackson-define-woman-science/7152439001/

All you care about is her definition of “woman” and not the objectionable way she is being treated?

But you fail to notice why she is being grilled and questioned with all sorts of irrelevant questions?

You fail to see why some of these irrelevant questions are being aimed at her?

Funny that!

Remember the very inexperienced white woman handed the job by Trump who was never asked irrelevant questions in an attempt to discredit her. Yet this black woman must be held to a different standard.

the FT has an article on her today (missing out the bit about not being able to say what a woman is). The comments below are a treat - several other people noticing the ommission.
