Rep. Nancy Mace criticized ACLU attorney Joshua Block for refusing to define "s*x" during and after a U.S. Supreme Court oral argument in a case challenging West Virginia's ban on transgender athletes (biological males) competing in girls' sports under Title IX.
Block argued against relying on a strict definition of s*x for enforcement, stating that Title IX's purpose isn't to accurately define s*x but to prevent discrimination, though he later conceded that biological s*x applies in this context.
