These woke word games are irrelevant. The law prohibits discrimination “on the basis of sex”. Sex is binary and determining the sex of plaintiffs is not messy. There are a million ways Jackson could have answered the question based on laws she has applied many times. She was being unnecessarily cutesy by half. Totally unbecoming of a judge who wants to be a justice. Justice Gorsuch said all we need to know about this in Bostock. I suggest you and Jackson study that.
The easiest way to consume your spaghetti is to take a fork and knife and simply cut it into small pieces.
You obviously didn’t watch Biden today. This chess match with Putin definitely has him on his game. He’s anything but brain dead.
Which means you don't know sh*t . Don't ever change, the world needs clowns!
I'm with you but don't think it's gonna happen. When did all of this partisan crap start with Supreme court justices? Was it with Bork or before that? I know that Ginburg was approve with something over 90 votes and she was very liberal.
It may have started with Bork. Nixon had some problems but some of that was his own fault. You know it is a problem when your supporters say about an appointment that mediocre people need represented on the court.
That is used so often and I want to correct the person every time I hear it but don't. 🤣 Aloha is wrong in one sense and that is that if "alot" becomes used enough they'll add it to the dictionary and it will become a word.
At least he didn't get into the "there, their, they're" use or the ""your, you're) use.🤣
I absolutely cannot get "affect" and "effect". I want to write congress and make the use of affect illegal.That is used so often and I want to correct the person every time I hear it but don't. 🤣 Aloha is wrong in one sense and that is that if "alot" becomes used enough they'll add it to the dictionary and it will become a word.
There are words that I have to stop and think about every time I used them.
I have trouble with that also but it helps if I think of "effect" as a noun and "affect" as a verb even though that is not 100% correct.
There've been close votes through history and even quite a few nominees who were voted down (Bork is the most recent).
Geeze, you are a riot.
i read Gorsuch’s Bostock opinion as establishing that all the gender identification claptrap boils down to sex under the law. He took “on the basis of sex” and applied it across the board. I think that is the most brilliant opinion in decades. Jackson would have done well to answer the woman question as Gorsuch would have. RBG concurred with Gorsuch.
I just skimmed it. I always look at this stuff as to how it would apply at the lowest level. In this case filing a complaint with the eeoc. So Bostock states that 703 prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and transgender status because they are contemplated as based on sex. So again your binary birth status is immaterial. The identity stuff seems slippery
We are talking about a teeny-tiny group here, It seems like a big deal because all the woke shit and the sucessful melding of T people with gays in order to keep the flames of political division going. Colorado was a center of gravity for sex change and gender reassignment for decades. Trans people are now in their 80’s. Many, but by no means all, are miserable people and have significant medical and mental issues. Sex change does not fix underlying emotional issues like many think it does. Anecdotal evidence only, no studies that I’ve seen. My point is that trans-evangelism has taken over and blows the whole issue up. The sad part is the way we treat detransition folks and their medical providers— all the result of political evangelism. Like everything else we f*ck things and even people up with political BS and claiming that a trans athlete is the new Jackie Robinson.

Eh. How can a trans person claim actionable discrimination without the basis of sex? Binary sex establishes the standard.
I understand what you are saying re the standard but I don't think it necessarily matters. I think perception is what matters. So if a prospective client walks into the law offices of Coh and says I am being at harassed at work because I identify as a woman - that's all that matters. Look up the required info to file a complaint. It doesn't list sex. A birth cert isn't required as an attachment
We must prevent "alot" from ever becoming a word. I'd like to enjoy the remainder of my life.That is used so often and I want to correct the person every time I hear it but don't. 🤣 Aloha is wrong in one sense and that is that if "alot" becomes used enough they'll add it to the dictionary and it will become a word.

To be actionable under Title VIi. the harassment must be based on statutory standards. If an employee is trans and claims harassment from somebody who is a general asshole and harasses everyone, there is no case. One judge called that equal opportunity harassment.
And that's exactly right re Jackson. What's actionable as correctly stated is predicated on what sex was assigned at birth. But if Jackson can't define that then the predicate/standard is gone and it's all just feelings because the basis of comparison (man to woman - woman to man) is gone
Hm. I think what is actionable imust be based on binary sex, but I’m not sure how the birth certificate fits in. The concept of sex assigned at birth is like Aloha’s fingernails on a chalkboard* to me. Sex is at birth.
I love two old white guys figuring this out lmao. So gender identity is the issue because that's based on inner feelings and one could identify as male or female or both or neither. So if it spirals into this amorphous thing sex discrim based on gender identification could really just be harassment because it no longer HAS to be based on a binary definition. Maybe there needs to be a new protected class. A catch-all class for stuff that doesn't fit
Just think in your head is it you are in this sentence or not? There has here in it, so it is a place, they’re again they are. These are my second grade tricks I still use. I love having kids come back and tell me they still use some of the spelling and grammar tricks I showed them years ago, cause I do too.That is used so often and I want to correct the person every time I hear it but don't. 🤣 Aloha is wrong in one sense and that is that if "alot" becomes used enough they'll add it to the dictionary and it will become a word.

White boards and eliminating chalkboards was the most important renovation for teachers in the past century. The noise, the grit, the dust... I hated it all.We must prevent "alot" from ever becoming a word. I'd like to enjoy the remainder of my life.
I hate all the rest of what you wrote too. Can't help it that they're all like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. Chalkboard - that thing teachers used to write on at the front of a classroom before we had whiteboards.
It sounds as if you have an affect causing you to feel this way and I'm not sure writing Congress will have much of an effect. Hopefully it doesn't affect you too deeply.
I affect you and you affect me. The effect on both of us is real.
New York City recognizes dozens of genders. Midgendering people violates city ordinances. Among the genders are bi-gendered (as distinct from bi-sexual) and gender fluid. What does either mean if we are to use subjective feelings to create legal standards?
No one affects you. At least that’s the affect you exhibit and the effect you attempt to effect.
Well then you obviously didn't watch any of the Coney Barrett hearings. She either avoided giving direct answers to many many questions or she did a masterful job of not getting tripped up or tricked up in answering gotcha questions. There was no right answer to the Jackson gender question. It's a loaded question that she did not wish to answer at that time. Was Conney Barrett against settled law in Roe vs Wade? She danced all around the abortion questions but her feelings are becoming more and more apparent now.
