Republicans' crusade against the transgender community was on full display during the Senate Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, whom President Joe Biden nominated to the United States Supreme Court in the wake of Justice Stephen Breyer's imminent retirement.

One particularly viral moment came during far-right Senator Marsha Blackburn's questioning of Jackson, when Blackburn demanded Judge Jackson define the word "woman," hoping to hear the accomplished judge parrot the flawed biological essentialism used to define the word in GOP circles.


Watch below.

Jackson responded:

"Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there is a dispute about a definition, people make arguments and I look at the law and decide."

Jackson was chastised by the right, who erroneously claimed she doesn't know what a woman is, and her answer was shared to support their lies that women are supposedly being erased by the transgender community.

At a recent even, far-right Congresswoman and prominent conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia alluded to Jackson's answer to the bizarre question, then promoted her own antiquated views of how women should be perceived.

Watch below.

Greene was met with applause after telling supporters:

"I'm gonna tell you right now what is a woman. This is an easy answer. We are a creation of God. We came from Adam's rib. God created us with his hand. We may be the weaker sex, we are the weaker sex, but we are our partner, our husband's wife."

Claims that a celestial being created women from the extracted rib of the first man to ever exist aside, Greene's antiquated assertion that women are the "weaker sex" was met with widespread derision.

People soon began citing examples of women who defy the idea that their sex is inherently weaker.









Social media users fiercely rejected her comments.

Jackson's confirmation will soon head to the Senate floor, and is expected to pass with bipartisan support.

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
