How do they know there are billions of women if there is no sufficient way to clearly define what makes someone a woman?

took my wife’s word for it but there’s no way she has any clue whether she’s a woman if scientists cant even say. i didn’t even know i needed to worry about this, now im afraid that i might have inadvertently gay married and done a whole bunch of gay shit

"My client did not discriminate against her for being a woman. He didn't know she was a woman. He doesn't know what a woman is. He's not a biologist." *blank stare*

If even biologists can't define a woman, the term no longer has meaning and her nomination is not an historical one.

The screenshot in the OP makes this same point

I can find you a scientist right now who would say this is a joke, suddenly USA today's statement is false

And he would be instantly deplatformed

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5067577&forum_id=2#44216385)

how do you know that's a real scientist?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5067577&forum_id=2#44216390)

Do they actually name any of these “scientists”?

'There isn't one single 'biological' answer to the definition of a woman'

Blackburn tweeted after the exchange that "this is a simple question," and called Jackson's response "a major red flag."

But Jordan-Young said she sees Jackson's answer, particularly the second half, reflecting the necessity of nuance. While traditional notions of sex and gender suggest a simple binary – if you are born with a penis, you are male and identify as a man and if you are born with a vagina, you are female and identify as a woman – the reality, gender experts say, is more complex.

"There isn't one single 'biological' answer to the definition of a woman. There's not even a singular biological answer to the question of 'what is a female,'" Jordan-Young said.

There are at least six different biological markers of “sex” in the body: genitals, chromosomes, gonads, internal reproductive structures, hormone ratios and secondary sex characteristics. None of the six is strictly dichotomous, Jordan-Young said, and the different markers don’t always align.

Sarah Richardson, a Harvard scholar, historian and philosopher of biology who focuses on the sciences of sex and gender and their policy dimensions, said Jackson's answer accurately reflects legal practice. While U.S. law remains an unsettled arena for the conceptualization and definition of sex, it frequently grounds sex categorization in biological evidence and reasoning.

But like Jordan-Young, Richardson emphasized that biology does not offer a simple or singular answer to the question of what defines a woman.

"As is so often the case, science cannot settle what are really social questions," she said. "In any particular case of sex categorization, whether in law or in science, it is necessary to build a definition of sex particular to context."

The social science is settled
