I do apologise for my mistake , I should have said "the two reasons" , rather than the "sole reason"

But there were other criteria too, like qualifications and experience.

 

A selection screening that resulted in such an excellent candidate.

I didn't say she was asked to make a judgement though...........

No, but that was the excuse she gave for not answering the question , that she is a Judge and judges need to hear what the prosecution and defendants have to say and she makes judgement

Its not a basic yes and no answer, it needs a lot of context unless you going to be there with different scenarios for a few hours, he was baiting her and she knew it, so did everybody else. You do know there are many complexities its not black and white:

 

There being 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 and the different markers don’t always align. 

 

 "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."

She did give an answer. She's entitled to answer as she see fit. She didn't lie, unlike the last 2 Trump nominees.

She answered perfectly without embroiling herself in rightwing culture wars.
