This May Be the Most Absurd, Telling Exchange in Matt Walsh’s ‘What Is a Woman?’ – Opinion

Matt Walsh and The Daily Wire launched “What Is a Woman?” on Wednesday, and the documentary on transgender ideology is already causing waves.

The interview includes shocking comments from Lia Thomas about a fellow teammate. biological male swimmer who just won the NCAA women’s championship, perhaps the most interesting aspects, at least that I’ve seen so far, come via interviews with supposed “experts.” On that front, a clip is going viral that may be the most absurd, telling exchange of the production.

Walsh is trying to convince a professor what the truth about the definition of a female body is. He gets no answer.

This is fantastic. This is possible by asking simple and dispassionate questions. @MattWalshBlogIt is clear that even mere curiosity can cause people to be offended by the truth.

The clip opens with the professor having just attempted to define a woman in a “social context,” which leads Walsh to clarify that he’s not asking about social context, but just wants to get to the truth of the matter. At that point, the professor says he’s “really uncomfortable with that language, like, getting to the truth.” From there, Walsh interrupts to ask “Why is that uncomfortable?” The professor’s answer? That it “sounds deeply transphobic” after which he threatens to cut the interview off.

Within 40 seconds, all the cards that support leftwing gender ideology are gone. Why? There is no truth to it. Proponents of the concept rely instead on the ability to adjust definitions as needed, according to the professor. In no way is that an objective means to define womanhood, and if it comes down to “Anyone who says they are a woman is a woman,” which is the most popular transgender position, then women simply do not exist.

What other aspects of our lives do we permit malleability? Can someone be “trans-race?” If the answer is no, and the left would absolutely assert that the answer is no, why is the answer no? What’s the philosophical and biological difference between “feeling” like a different race and “feeling” like a different gender? At least in the former situation, a person might actually be 5-10% of the race they want to “identify” as.

However, he is unable to answer simple questions regarding his ideologies. There is no truth beneath the transgender movement. It simply floats on an unearned plain of social acceptance that can’t be defended with logic and reason. Walsh’s attempt to expose that is laudable.
