Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona dodged questions from Rep. Andrew Clyde on Tuesday, when the Georgia Republican asked the Biden administration what it means to be a “woman.”
“Can you please tell me or can you please define for me what is a woman?” Clyde asked Cardona.
The Biden administration official deflected the question, only answering that the focus of the Department of Education “is to provide equal access to students including students who are LGBTQ – access free from discrimination.”
Unsatisfied with Cardona’s response, Cylde persisted with his line of questioning, once again asking the education secretary, “What’s the definition of a woman?”
“I think that’s almost secondary to the important role that I have as secretary of education,” Cardona said.
When asked again, Cardona answered that his job” is to make sure that all students have access to public education, which includes co-curricular activities.”
The Biden administration official also refused to go on record with his beliefs on whether “a biological male who self-identifies as a woman should be allowed to compete in women’s sports,” only responding that “all students” should have access to school sports.
“Preventing students from participating on a sports team consistent with their gender identity can stigmatize and isolate them,” the White House said after unveiling the proposed change to the 51-year-old Title IX rules. “This is different from the experience of a student who is not selected for a team based on their skills.”

What do women think about this? (Real, actual, XX women) Y’all spent decades fighting for women’s rights, got them, and now men are tearing them down again in the name of “trans rights.”
As a traditional man, I’m disgusted for you. I know my wife is livid over it all.
I’m separated, but my wife is ready to kill.
Defining a woman in this administration is impossible because a woman is whatever anyone wants it to mean on whatever day you choose to define it. Reality is totally fluid with these quirks of nature.
Time to grow up America and only put adults in charge.
“This is different from the experience of a student who is not selected for a team based on their skills.”
This is exactly the same. That person couldn’t make it on the boys team based on their skills so they went to the girls team.
No one is being denied a chance to play but the girl/women that can’t make the team because some boy in a dress took her spot.
Compassion and equity, my a$$.

OK I can define it. A woman is born with a womb designed to cradle a baby until birth, a birth canal, ovaries designed to produce eggs, mammary glands designed to produce milk.
So much for Title IX.
There’s a war on women going on, all right.
Deep State is waging it.
And modern feminists are Deep State handmaidens.
The feminist lobby never cared about women. It was always Communist and used women to score political points.
Apparently, women voted for this lunacy by voting for these lunatics.
It is amazing half of the population is being cancelled by a mentally ill small fraction who are so sick they cannot accept their own biological sex.
Women cannot now even be defined. If nobody can define a woman, they are effectively being erased. They cannot even publicly object without being physically attacked.
When did America surrender public policy to the mentally ill?
How does a nation survive this insanity?
By attacking and destroying the perverts
The only reply from me would be my mom, my wife, my sister are all women. and how do I know that? I was born from one, Ive slept with one and as a small boy I took baths with one. and she was a she back then. I knew She didnt have the equipment to be an old school boy scout.
This is why “woke” is so dangerous. He knows what the definition of a “woman” is but he also knows he would be destroyed if said it.
Those that bend to the “woke” are between a rock and a hard place because no matter how “woke” they are, just one misstep and they would toss him under the bus.
At the House Appropriations Committee hearing the Secretary of Education demonstrates yet again why he is the scum of the earth who is dedicated to giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States. Cardona’s only value to humanity, following his trial, conviction and sentencing, is to become a one-time rope tester.
That shite drives me nuts. Advertisers pandering to a small minority to avoid te hateful consequences of Cancel Culture. Cowards.
As a woman I am offended and disgusted with this transgender crap. I have a relative by marriage that transitioned female to male and I just understand. This person is miserable and living pretty much like a hermit because the doctor can’t get the fake penis to stay viable. Men in women’s sports is wrong. I’d guess most all of these men have not had their junk removed because then they wouldn’t be able to actually participate.
Men are the best! First we dominated men’s sports and now we dominate women’s sports!
If all funding for women was cut from the department of education and Miguel Cardona’s salary was cut proportionally, he’d very quickly admit that he knows exactly what a woman is.
Solution: don't watch TV. I've been TV free since 2008 and don't miss it a bit. In fact, I feel fortunate.
