Just look at the difficulty or unwillingness to answer that many Republican legislators exhibited when the script was turned. The question was clearly meant to be a gotcha, not an attempt to understand what Jackson’s understanding of the issue was.

But since Red Team asked it and Blue Team responded, look at where all or the Red Team falls.

What agenda is Red Team pushing?

I repeat, people commonly cannot state the intuitively obvious as a precise definition, because it has never been necessary for them to verbalize it.

The agenda being pushed is to completely revise the common understanding of male and female for the last 400,000 years.

Yes, some people aren't prepared to debate something as obvious as 2+2=4.

What agenda is red team pushing? It’s obvious to anyone with ears and eyes.

They’re trying to stoke another culture war predicated on an imaginary idea that this answer is always so easy and obvious to answer that blanket legislation is needed. As soon as someone pipes up and says, maybe it’s a bit more complicated, they’re slandered with the statements like yours - that this is akin to 2+2 = 4.

If the answer was as straight forward as 2+2 = 4, then you wouldn’t see Republican Senators fumbling over their words.

The issue at hand is not as prevalent and widespread as Red Team makes it out to be, but it sure froths up the base (see here). I wish more Republicans managed this issue as the Utah governor has. I wonder if anyone here has read about his actions.

Wow, you ought to work for Russian media, or the Ministry of Truth. The ones who aren’t trying to overturn thousands of years of precedent are the ones who are stoking a culture war.

Which political party is currently making this a bigger deal at the state or national level?

Seriously, when you make accusations like that, make sure to look in the mirror. I don’t see Democrats trying to pass bills that define sex or that create a free for all for athletics or anything similar. Right now it only appears to be Republican politicians looking to pass bills at the moment.

I find the guy that extols that 'rich should pay for everything' and 'systemic racism is rampant' complaining about the other side "stok[ing] [a]culture war" to be somewhat laughable.
