Justice Jackson has issues with concept of only biological women in female sports

| January 14, 2026

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson took issue with the idea of having only biological women participate in female sports. Jackson described this concept as “overarching” and suggested that it excluded gender as seen by transgenders. Jackson appeared to imply that the “assigned gender” at birth concept denied opportunities for transgender “women” to participate in female sports.

From Daily Caller:

“You have the overarching classification, you know, everybody has to be, um, uh, play on the team that is the same as their sex at birth, um, but then you have a gender identity definition that is operating within that, meaning, a distinction, meaning that um, for, uh, cisgender girls they can play consistent with their gender identity, for transgender girls, they can’t,” said Jackson.

Jackson distinguishes between “sex” and “gender identity” as though the latter is a category deserving of equal consideration. “Gender identity” only means “a particular feeling I have about myself.” If that feeling leads one to make unreasonable demands, it is perfectly reasonable to toss those demands in the trash.

Williams countered Jackson, saying, “I think, if anything, that’s useful evidence as to the lack of a transgender-based discrimination, because if the legislature were just sort of unsettled by the notion of transgender athletes, I think the answer would’ve been to then bar them from –”

Jackson interrupted: “No, I appreciate that, I appreciate that, I guess I was getting at, the, um, what I understood the Chief Justice to be trying to resusce, which was, this notion that this is really just about the definition of, um, we accept that you can separate boys and girls, and we are now looking at the definition of a girl, and we’re saying only people who were, um, girl assigned at birth qualify.”

Again, no one is “assigned” a sex at birth. The doctor doesn’t spin a wheel and land on “girl” or “boy” or “none of the above” and proceed accordingly.

Jackson infamously refused to define the word “woman” in her confirmation hearing, when asked to do so by Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn.

“I’m not a biologist,” Jackson protested.

Still waiting for the Auto-pen thing to blow up and having her appointment be nixed. Very unlikely, I know, but I can dream!

Not gonna happen as the Senate was the organization that confirmed it’s “fitness” and actually put it in place in the SCOTUS. I say it because if it cannot define it’s own sex, it must not have one.

So now she’s suddenly a biologist?

Prior Service (Ret)

Ask Jackson if she wants to get in the ring andt take repeated shots to the face from a man, a trans man, a trans woman, or a woman. She will suddenly know what’s what biologically-speaking.

Forest Bondurant

She’s as much as an embecilic moronic dipshit as the person who appointed her to the bench.

Fucking embarrassment to anyone who studies or serves the law.

Since she isn’t a biologist and has no idea what a woman is, how will she ensure the enforcement of such laws.

Ah, in response to the satire toon; for the brain dead people like that Commissar guy, girl? I’m also Not a biologist:

§1357. Powers of immigration officers and employees

(a) Powers without warrant

(omitted)

(5) to make arrests-

(A) for any offense against the United States, if the offense is committed in the officer’s or employee’s presence, or

(B) for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States, if the officer or employee has reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such a felony,

I have heard a number of agitators say that ICE can’t arrest US citizens. While not literally the dumbest thing I have ever heard it is pretty high up on the chain.

Quick suggestion, freely given, worth what it cost.
If all you trannies want to participate in sports, form your own Trans League.
Let the XX non-confused biological women play only against/with other non-confused XX biological women.
Let the XY non-confused biological men play only with/against other non-confused XY biological men.
All the rest of you, leave the non-confused XXs & XYs alone, form your own leagues.
There! Everyone happy now?
(why do I have to be the one to do all the mental heavy lifting around here?) (walks away, sighing, shaking head…)

the fault with the people that make up what to teach kids and have the teachers do the dirty work. not bad no typos with my still dilated eye balls execpt I cheated by enlarging the screen.

E.

And this will build a “ Better America”? I say BS!

I graduated H.S. in 1963 and missed the indoctrination.

Not the point, Tox. It never was about competition- there’s no special snowflake oh so stunning and brave in an all-trans sports league. No Look at ME! It would be a league of second rate male athletes, so zero attraction.

E.

But just think of the pretty ‘’pichers’ in the locker room!m

Ya ever notice, there’s very seldom instances of girl’s identifying as boy’s so they can play in boy’s/men’s sports?

Big brains.

How far we have fallen.. such idiocy would have been laughed off as little as 10-20 yrs ago.. not this mental illness is taken as a serious discussion..

RE: Sapper3307’s post of the Justice and the ACLU lawyer:

And that is yet another reason NOT to support the ACLU. (The principal reason being that do will not support the civil liberties of Americans with respect to the 2nd Amendment).

Somehow, I have ended up on the ACLU mailing list, about once a month I receive a solicitation asking for donations to defend “gay rights,” abortion on demand, “trans rights” etc.

I write over their letter “I will make a donation when the ACLU defends the 2nd Amendment with the same vigor that it defends the 1st Amendment.”

Then I remove all identifying information and return their solicitation to them in their Business Reply Mail envelope so they have to pay the dollar or so postage to receive my response.

Great tactic, used by myself as well

Holy Hannah, just once, ONCE, make it make sense.

Court: What is a girl?

Lawyer: A juvenile human female.

Court: What is a woman?

Lawyer: An adult human female.

Court: What is a female?

Lawyer: A human born with double X chromosomes.

Court: Are there exceptions to this?

Lawyer: Yes, as a mutation and in extreme rarity there are humans born with different chromosomal combinations.

Court: How do you know, you’re not a scientist.

Lawyer: No, you’re honor, however the science in this regard has been settled since the time we became Homo Sapiens.

I would LOVE to hear that.

IMHO she is SUCH a 24K DEI token that it isn’t even funny!

USAFRetired

Isn’t she the one who said during one of her confirmation hearings that she wasn’t a biologist so she couldn’t define what a woman was?

Shouldn’t she recuse herself?

E.

Since she’s so ignorant, she should be fired!

I would like to ask these pro trans folks how’d they’d feel if an NBA player, a guy along the lines of Charles Barkley, decided he was a woman. Imagine him in the WNBA. I’d pay to watch that.

Graybeard

IMHO:

If one is too stupid to know what makes a woman a woman, or how to distinguish between a man or a woman, then one is too stupid to practice law or sit on the bench.

Surely there is some law that allows a judge to be removed from the bench when there is evidence that they are mentally incapable of making nuanced distinctions, much more basic distinctions of fact.

And surely Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson meets the criterion for removal.

SFC D

Justice Jackson has advanced degrees and cannot define what a woman is. I took life science in 7th grade, biology and health in high school, and biology 101 in college. I have no degree. I can define what a woman is.

E.

Her ‘ degrees ‘ must be from those fraudulent tv ‘ schools’ Not worth the paper they’re printed on.We once had a of volunteers who covered the walls of her office with them. None were authentic. We also replaced the HR dictator. Later learned that they were closet besties!

Graybeard

Shoot, I had an older neighbor girl when I was 4 show me the difference between a girl and a boy.
It was an enlightening experience.

SFC D

You were sexually assaulted!

Graybeard

Yes.
But how does a 4- or 5-year-old in the 1950’s express that?

And I wonder if the girl who ‘educated’ me was also a victim.

Won’t know this side of Heaven.

“If a boy wants to be a girl, and just says he ‘enjoys being a girl’ according to that old song, can we really think that a boy who sings that song can’t really BE a girl if he wants to believe it, and so he can be a boxer, or wrestler, or high speed runner, or a horse, that he ca—excuse me—that ‘humbumbleyturboprop”, or whatever we supposed to call boys…or, um…non boys that is not boys but feels like they might be something like girls…or firls…or deers…or pandas….well, you get it, right?
Um….can a man get pregnant? Lemme check my biology book from 2024…”

Jackson has repeatedly demonstrated how unqualified she is to be a SCOTUS justice. She is absolutely dumber than a bag of hair.
