The article misses my entire question that was posed to Shande.

I didn't just come out and be like 'what is a woman?'

She is President of the Massachusetts Women's Political Caucus, and has she/her pronouns on her linkedin page.

So I asked the question like this:

"As President of the Massachusetts WOMEN'S (emphasis on women's) Political Caucus, there is no doubt that you have an opinion on this subject. The question I'm about to pose to you is the subject of a documentary, and has been asked of the most recent Supreme Court Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson:

What is a woman?"

She sighed, leaned forward, and said "A woman is a person who says she is one."

Incredible, isn't it?
