Matt Walsh: Documentary "What is a woman?"
Mostly finalised 2024-9-24, some more details still being added. Almost done as of 2024-10-14.
I started watching, then decided to make a subtitle file with comments and later annotate too, instead of just doing a review, by adding key points, then I added the so far missing key points up to 43:55 using my comments in the srt file and rewatching the documentary in those parts, then wrote my review. On this page first comes the review, then the key points, then the subtitle file.
Review
The documentary starts with a question on whether men can be women and vice versa, Walsh mentions "Nature seems to always tell the truth", "But, what is truth?", then introduces several people, to get an answer to these questions:
1) [ At 3:25 ] Gert Comfrey, marital/family therapist:
2) [ At 8:23 ] Marci Bowers, sex change surgeon.
3) [ At 14:22 ] Michelle Forcier, pediatrician:
4) [ At 18:55 ] Patrick Grzanka, sociologist at the university of Tenesssee in the field 'women, gender and sexuality studies':
5) [ At 25:56 ] Miriam Grossman, adolescent and adult psychiatrist:
6) [ At 30:42 ] Rodrigo-heng Lehtinen, from the "National center for transgender equality":
7) [ At 35:48 ] Mark Takano, congressman:
Walsh mentions the "trans abled community" which casts serious doubt on any "I'm feeling this way" being enough for validation, but 'Marci Bowers' supposedly sees no connection. Of course not, the questions and answers would kill any validation for "I feel like the opposite sex" as being valid in itself.
Walsh asks Michelle Forcier whether believing in Santa claus = tenuous grasp on reality and that if a child can't see reality, then how is its view of its gender correct? She evades the relevant comparison, obviously because it makes the justification of gender affirmation for youths invalid. In reality what I said years ago already invalidates that: What about liars and people who are confused?
Walsh goes to Africa to get input on this gender stuff which is weird for them. This section is perhaps a waste of time in being not very interesting, in the past in Europe and the USA there was no such gender stuff though there were crossdressers... Examining current streams of views on how life works in the USA and Europe by placing that in a setting that is not much influenced by those societies is perhaps interesting but it is no different from that societies never saw crossdressers as normal.
The documentary shows most of all the nature of people who are pro-transitioning: Almost all of them are oppressive, not willing to discuss anything when the question goes against their views. This EXACTLY how anti-social people behave... Esp. notable is the facial expression of that alphabet community member of congress Mark Takano, who cuts off the interview. He is a piece of shit (POS), and you can actually see that already from his facial expression. A few days ago I saw his anti-social mug on the thumbnail of a video and watched him getting lambasted on another topic: WATCH: Derrick Van Orden Excoriates Mark Takano Over 'Disgraceful' Comments During VA Hearing
As to finding out the truth, reality, Walsh concludes by asking his wife "what is a woman", who says "Adult human female", which is generally true but too simple of an answer.
Walsh' documentary is not critical enough and Walsh does not show, analyse, nor understand why this gender stuff is happening. There are far more details that need to be discussed, though not all can be dealt in detail in a 1.5 h documentary, such as:
The origins of the alphabet movement: To come as a separate page, it is related to political correctness and I will explain how it works (all written down but should be discussed separately...
Examining the differences between crossdressers and the gender stuff.
The issues that M->F give in society, and which mean they will never really be 'normal', namely that voice, thinking and movement patterns when walking/running (the gait) do not conform to what women are like... This is an issue not just in reality (well, I experienced it just once) making me think "wtf? that woman has the voice of a man" but also in TV/films where makers are not only are stuffing homosexuals and lesbians everywhere (though I rarely see them in reality), but also transwomen which can be really annoying because of being distracting from feeling "something is wrong here". 2 examples:
- Dispatches from elsewhere. I watched 2 episodes in which there is a woman, 'Simone', sounding like a man. After a while I had to know what was going on, looked 'her' up on IMDB and 'she' is a transgender. Why? If there is no need for it in the story then women should be portrayed by women, not transwomen. Every time I felt "looks like a woman but sounds like a man", and "this does not fit". So I decided not to watch any further. Then after 2 weeks I thought "it might be interesting despite this issue", so I watched a bit of ep. 4 where this dude was 'harassed' by some men. Then 'she' started shouting, swearing, kicking and I thought: "A woman doesn't talk like that, a woman doesn't swear like that, a woman doesn't move (kick) like that", so the makers of this TV series and that actor are forcing me to waste my brainpower on thinking about what doesn't make sense... I didn't watch any further and only read reviews on IMDB as amusement, some of which mentioned in particular the poor ending. Good, this means I avoided wasting too much time on this shit... I thought the main actor, Jason Segel, was a wimp, then read on IMDB that he is also the creator. That explained a lot...
- Monsieur Spade, which plays in France. The pace is slow but ok, relaxing. However in ep. 2 there is a 'woman' who sounded like a man, and one commenter on IMDB wrote about 'her' that Rebecca Root is unconvincing. Imagine a spy being as obtrusive as possible, well, perhaps to distract from another person but it doesn't really make sense. I didn't watch any later episodes because of this nonsense but also because of the sudden ridiculous violence/murders which was off-putting, not interesting, but from time to time I read the reviews on IMDB as amusement and later read there about the insane ending which is more like narcissism by proxy (which is what I call since 2023 the efforts to portray africans in western society as being very important while they actually have had no real influence at all, which is done by some narcissists (=inferiority complex) from that group and by more people outside that group who further enable this nonsense, which they do because they think that this group needs pity (=narcissism by proxy) for precisely not having created anything in western society. Why? Nothing of the kind is being done for say Asians in western society). Not watching past ep.2 saved me a lot of time!
46 XY DSD (men with a genetic birth defect causing deformed male genitalia and internal testicles, who are esp. in 3rd world countries often incorrectly identified as girls by doctors after birth) who were up to 2023 active in women's athletics (perhaps also other sports), with some of them not knowing what they really are it seems, but they should know because of: 1) not getting a period, 2) no development of breasts, 3) appearance is masculine (e.g. Caster Semenya, Francine Nionsaba) or at best boyish (example: Christine Mboma). In behaviour, talking, movement patterns you see it too. Of these I classify Caster Semenya as a definite scammer: He knew that he is a man, he then scammed women by taking titles, and he even had the gall talking shit about women as being 'slow'. Compared to a man, even compared to a man with not much talent like himself, yes... This is similar to some transitioners such as the weight lifter from Canada talking shit about women being so weak! A lot of these people are autistic or fully anti-social, and there is, as I read, an (unsurprising) correlation between autism and transitioners. Transitioners often being autistic explains that they don't see certain issues such as M-to-F in women's sports as problems, because autists are rule followers, they consider everything fine if the rules are followed. They don't see/realise that there maybe something unfair and thus don't realise that the rules are wrong/unfair and should be changed.
Situations such as genetic men but with androgen insensitivity, who are/behave as women, which society can then accept as women. There some issues, such as: 1) doctors need to know, 2) they are genetically men in not having anything of the female reproductive system, I read one comment that such people still have some competitive advantage in sports, though from what I read in posts on e.g. letsrun.com this seems not the case.
Deviations such as XXY and people with some male some female cells. An example is the Dutch sprinter in 1949,1950: Foekje Dillema. She has a very masculine face and had an operation later, apparently to remove internal testicular tissue. She was a woman but with some male cells too... (an extremely rare condition).
A woman like Heidi Krieger who in the GDR was a shot putter, was given hormones and changed physically from that so much that she felt she had to transition to a man, Helmut Krieger. Such people can as a courtesy be accepted by society as men, though a doctor will need to know this for various causes of medical issues, because men and women are different genetically, and have internal testicles (unless removed, though that can negatively affect such people's health, you can read about such things in discussions with references on e.g. the forum of letsrun.com).
No discussion about mental changes (change in thinking) when taking hormones and that some things do not change, but also: How does any man know what a woman is, how she experiences life, how she thinks, feels? Ditto for the reverse. This of course implies that someone stating "I am in a man's body but feel like a woman" must be at the very least treated with extreme skepticism.
There is a difference between M->F and F->M in that a man will almost always be recognisable from the voice, but also from movement patterns, to be a man after any treatments/surgery. This is not so with women using testosterone. This is why supposedly female-from-upbringing athletes Caster Semenya, Francine Niyonsaba, Christine Mboma stand out from the real women and these are examples that show that biology is real and that 'gender is determined by upbringing' is bullshit. There have also been gender neutral education experiments going on for ages, at least since the 1960s, and I know more about that from experience... It only influences people with a weak personality.
The issues with word redefinition games that are being played by gender activists and political correctness idiots. More exposition and proper analysis is needed.
A problem in asking laymen any definition is that people don't use definitions to differentiate, they know from various factors (the way they dress, talk, goals in life, etc.). This is true for anything except that which people studied where definitions are of use or required. Example: What is a car? Then you start think about features. Always powered by a petrol or diesel engine? Not any more since good batteries and electric motors, but nobody thinks "that Tesla is not a car" even though someone may have described a car as having a petrol or diesel engine...
There should have been a section on the following issue with people claiming to be something different from what they were born, in particular (but the other options should be looked at too) claiming to be a woman while being a man and having had no surgery... This issue gives rise to the issue of male rapists getting sent to female prisons, and pervert boys allowed to go into girls toilets/dessing rooms and having the chance to assault them there! In effect you don't know the situation: A person calling himself transwoman could be:
- 1. a man who is not undergoing hormone treatment, and who has not had surgery (except possibly breast implants).
- 2. a man who is undergoing hormone treatment but who has not had surgery (except breast implants). An interesting example of this is shown in an old reality TV programme called "There is something about Miriam", with some men trying to woo "Miriam" who took hormones from before puberty which is why 'she' can sort of pull it off, in particular the voice is not that of a man, though one guy already thought 'she' was a guy, but likely that was (I may need to rewatch to make sure, if possible to deduce it from what was shown, as I only watched bits of this programme as most of the men were unlikeable oafs) more a statement made to explain something like why she would be on the TV programme, and not actually what was deduced from her appearance or behaviour.
- 3. a man who takes hormones and has undergone surgery.
The first 2 should not be allowed at all in even women's spaces such as toilets, and definitely not in women's sports. The 3rd one still has advantages over women in sports so they should not be allowed to participate in competitive women's sports, but they could be allowed in say women's toilets.
Why do transgender 'women' and 46XY DSD men compete in women's and girls' sports?
The reason for this is in almost all cases that I watched related to their personality: autistic or anti-social. There is as I read a strong correlation between transitioners and autism. Activists for 'trans rights' are often anti-social as you can see from their faces and deduce from what they say. It is shown in the type of action such as trying to force people to call them 'madam' when others see them as an obvious man.
Here are examples of transgenders and 46 XY DSD men in women's sports:
- Anne Andres: Powerlifter, Canada: Has had surgery so presumably no testicles any more. Looks autistic.
"Why is women’s bench so bad? I mean, not compared to me, we all know that I’m a tranny freak so that doesn’t count. And no, we’re not talking about Mackenzie Lee, she’s got little T-rex arms and she’s like 400 pounds of chest muscle apparently."
Making such statements only shows off that you are anti-social or autistic...
“Yes, Somebody did show up at the meet today with malicious intent and you know what, it was nothing, it was just entirely ignored.
“People lifted, I volunteered, everyone was happy that I was there, and it really struck me that maybe my participation isn’t necessarily fair, I mean there’s science whatever, but people welcome me because I’m actually nice to people."
Sure, make yourself believe that.
Women are less competitive than men but don't BS me that these sports are a cupcake recipe exchange gathering. Various sources mention that some women don't participate because of this dude so that they all want him to be there is BS.
- Laurel Hubberd: new zealand, trans weight lifter. Has undergone hormone treatment. Has had surgery or not? Looks to be the most normal in this list (not anti-social, but likely at least somewhat emotion poor, otherwise why partake in women's sports? After all that doesn't make sense except to rule following autists and to anti-social people who abuse the rules).
- Rachel McKinnon/ Veronica Ivy: (all this renaming is similar to word redefinition games): Has had surgery or not? From wikipedia: "Some commentators[who?] felt that Ivy had an advantage because of her size and muscle mass. Ivy objected to this criticism: she must keep her testosterone level low as a prerequisite for her participation in sports competitions.[23]", which means: No surgery! (at least not the essential one) Looks autistic. Cyclist, and an assistant philosophy professor (surprisingly not in the super woke Canada, but in the quite woke USA), wrote: https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2021/07/27/veronica-ivy-on-why-it-is-right-for-trans-olympians-to-compete.
Absolute drivel, extremely simplistic shit that a 14 year old could write. That shows his intellect and thus the value of his PhD in philosophy and the value of what is an 'assistant professor' at the 'College of Charleston in South Carolina'.
- William Thomas: swimmer. Took hormone suppressants but no surgery and undressed in the women's dressing room... He looks autistic.
- Veronica Garcia: runner, a transgender girl, i.e. a boy, didn't understand why 'she' was not congratulated for 'her' performances. Sure, if you are autistic that reasoning makes sense because they think everything is fine if the rules are followed (Autists use rules as a way to keep a handle on life. Contradictions, deviations from the rules or the concept that rules should be changed is beyond their understanding.)
See:
- Black and white sports: Transgender athlete in FULL PANIC! MELTSDOWN after girls REFUSE to accept him after BEATING them!,
- breitbart: Transgender Athlete Complains of Unsportsmanlike Comments After Winning Girl’s Title:
From the article:
But since taking a title away from his female competitors, Garcia says he has been stung by unkind comments from the girls he raced against.
“I guess maybe I expected sportsmanship because I was cheering the rest of them on when they were called. So, I guess I expected to get that reciprocated. But I didn’t get that,” Gacria complained to the Spokesman-Review.
Garcia was also chagrined when he took the podium to receive his medal, and the crowd stopped clapping and cheering like they did for the girls who won other titles. On top of that, at least one person in the crowd yelled, “He’s not a girl.”
“I’m just a teenager. I wish people would remember that,” he added.
Yes, imagine that! What these athletes and onlookers remember is that he is a guy...
This dude has to be autistic...
- Caster Semenya: 46 XY DSD (i.e. a man, internal testicles) called women slow. Doesn't want to take male hormone repressants. This guy is anti-social.
About transwomen/men in sports saying they are accepted by other women, this one does the same:
- A trans "mother" debates Matt Walsh on womanhood: https://youtu.be/VgXPd-iOu18
Walsh makes good arguments, it is strange that he also misses so much in all of his videos...
Anti-social behaviour in trans influencers
Trans women taking part in women's sports are from what I've seen all emotion poor at least, up to autistic and anti-social. This means no common sense and abusing rules. You see the same in trans influencers. A good example is "Eden Torres", that I finally found again in a video, this is one by Matt Walsh: WATCH: Trans Person BERATES Sonic Employee After Being "Misgendered" (2021-10-6). The first time I saw him on another video (possibly from SC reviews) I thought "anti-social face"... One of the first ones that stood out to me was a guy playing Doom who portrayed himself as a woman while swearing all the time, let me see if I can find that, it was another example of an anti-social trans 'woman'. Women don't swear like that! Aha, found him/her: 'Andrea Rovenski' /cyberdemon531 on youtube. Watched a little bit, saw no declaration of him/her being trans, yet, but we can deduce that with almost certainty from his/her shouting, face which looks like that of a young man, anti-social replies to comments, etc. Also saw a video 'TRANS in the AM', so yeah, clear.
Walsh discusses/mentions some of the missing points in another video
In the video "LIVE: Here's why men don't belong in women's sports" Walsh addresses a few things that he didn't in the film "what is a woman" and that I felt was missing in that film: https://www.youtube.com/live/oReo2f_1P2I
I analysed everything and will add my comments here later.
Key points
Key points up to 43:55 have been added by rewatching + taking some quotes from my srt (subtitle) file.
- 0:36 Walsh talks about being a father and says those who say there is no difference between male and female, are idiots.
- 1:40 old educational videos about growing up of boys, girls, with at 2:00 mentioning hormones.
- 2:36 "Nature seems to always tell the truth"
- 2:49 "But, what is truth?"
- 2:59 Walsh asks whether his boys can become girls, "who am I", etc. and says he had better go see a therapist.
- 3:25 Person 1: Introduction of the marital/family therapist: boyish woman "Gert Comfrey/ Gender affirming therapist" (I will hazard a guess that at the very least her first name is not from her parents but was changed). [ Btw., her face/facial expressions are as of someone discovering a new magical world and starts telling about it. She has a very limited connection to reality, little awareness of reality. ]
- 4:18 She mentions that she was 'assigned' female and states that she was told what clothes to wear, how to play. She was almost certainly not told, but it is implicit in society based on the differences that have manifested themselves for ages...
- 4:30 "Who assigns female?"
- 4:44 "What do they base that assignment on?"
- 4:57 "and we know now" and "Some women have penises, right? Some men have vaginas.": No.
- 5:08 Walsh asks how she knows and she says she learned it from transgender people. That is very telling because it doesn't include critically looking at those claims.
- 6:31 She says about Walsh's question "What is a woman": "I'm not a woman". Give us a break. Btw if you can say that you are not a woman it means you should be able to say why and thus you should be able to state what a woman is, at least in external features (that she may feel do not fit with her), and thus list that... Further, how can she be gender-affirming if she doesn't know what a woman is? How can she identify the case that someone is just confused, going through a phase?
- 6:55 Asking people on the street "What is a woman?". A problem asking this question is that people generally don't use definitions in life. Try asking "What is a car?" and you will get similar results.
- 8:23 Person 2: Introduction of Marci Bowers, sex change surgeon. In reality a man... He doesn't like that Walsh says he is a transgender woman, "I identify as a woman" and "I have a transgender history", yeah, this guy is playing with words.
- 9:42 Walsh: "do people regret their surgeries?", "we know they do but how often?", he then lies "actually we don't know that they do". then contradicts that with there being detransitioners who feel they made a mistake and that "fortunately this is a really really small number"!
- 10:08 Walsh mentions the "trans abled community" which casts serious doubt on any "I'm feeling this way" being enough for validation, but he supposedly sees no connection. Of course not, the questions and answers would kill any validation for "I feel like the opposite sex" as being valid in itself.
- 11:16 This guy actually gives a fairly good description of what a woman is in terms of influences, but it is still not complete because of not describing 'female' and not dealing with why/how the 'physical characteristics' and 'gender clues' don't conform to a 'gender identity.'
- 11:50 going to a shop owner who called a guy a guy, despite how he dressed.
- 14:22 Person 3: Introduction of pediatrician Michelle Forcier, a woman with blue hair (doing that used to be cool, a sign of being independent, but the last 5 years or more a sign of someone who wants to enforce his/her views on you)... From my srt file at about 1 hour: The facial expressions of this woman make me think she is retarded... or with no connection to reality. She mentions ca. 14:40 "reproductive justice". WTF is that?
- 14:50 "At which age can a child first transition to another gender or identify themselves as a gender different from how they were born?"
- 16:22 Walsh asks whether believing in Santa claus = tenuous grasp on reality. She then says: appropriate for the age, Walsh agrees. Walsh says Santa is real for them but not actually real. This woman then comes up with insane "does deliver their Christmas presents": No he doesn't, the parents do that, and Walsh has her by the balls because evading the relevant comparison makes their justification of gender affirmation invalid. In reality what I said years ago already invalidates that: What about liars and people who are confused? He says "but santa claus is not real though" and she responds "to that child they are". ("they are"?, I would say "he/she is", or "it is"), and that the child believes santa is real while not actually being real is the point she wants to evade. Walsh goes further that if a child can't see reality, then how is its view of its gender correct? She then comes up with the insane 17:18 "I would say how wonderful my four-year-old and their imagination is". From my srt file: "Oh my God, she is worse than I thought, she doesn't give a damn about reality and thus about consequences for that child of fantasies that she follows and makes into reality, that this child may regret but then will be forced to live..."
- 17:28 "Should we let our children define reality?"
- 17:40 asking the general public about defining something by stating you feel a certain way. Then he asks what people do if a person wants to say that what he says is true. Many evasive, soft, bullshit replies. Walsh then states he should have known it would be hard to define reality in Hollywood. So off to a university...
- 18:55 Person 4: Introduction of a sociologist from the university of Tenesssee in the field 'women, gender and sexuality studies', Patrick Grzanka, a totally insane wimp who doesn't want to answer questions.
- Walsh: gender and sex, what is the difference? Guy says it is complicated but then gives a sort of description. He also mixes 'male' (sex) with 'man' (gender):
- Walsh: "If we're talking about a trans woman, has all of the male physical characteristics, so would that not be a male then? Couldn't, couldn't we plainly say this person is a male?"
- Grzanka replies: " Well, I mean, I think when someone tells you who they are, you should believe them. So if a person says that they're a woman or they're a man, then that's them telling you their gender is.".
Note: 1) male/female = (physical) sex, and man/woman = gender, then 2) he talks about gender, not sex so he doesn't in fact answer the question...
- 21:24 Walsh states he is trying to get to the truth. Grzanka then states he is uncomfortable with that language. What a nut!
- 21:55 Grzanka threatens to quit the interview. It looks like he is almost crying. He is a wimp!
- 25:56 Person 5: Adolescent and adult psychiatrist Miriam Grossman, the only normal person so far who gives a definition first of all of sex and gender... and who says that gender dysphoria is rare, unlike the phenomenon happening now.
- 27:53 back to person 3, blue haired crackpot, who mixes up sex and gender...
- 29:07 girls running against 'transgender girls' i.e. boys.
- 30:42 Person 6: Introduction of Rodrigo-heng Lehtinen, from the "National center for transgender equality", an effeminate guy (of course, what else could you expect?), he says that a few individuals winning is not proof of an unfair advantage and "there is not really an advantage to being trans". You go little fat buddy, tell everyone your delusions!
- 32:22 [ person 2, inane M->F doctor ]: "there are some slight differences", aha 'slight'...
- 32:40 picture of Caster Semenya, that case is similar to transgenders...
- 32:57 Then the william thomas affair, the male swimmer who went into the women's division and shared a dressing room with the women, not having had any surgery so there was nudity that the women don't want and really that guy is a transvestite...
- 34:30 street interviews about men/transgender women sharing a dressing room with women.
- 35:48 Person 7: Introduction of congressman Mark Takano, a POS who can't handle any question that might be in any way critical. and just ends the interview. His helper is also a POS.
- 39:57 crazy nude guy, why include him?
- 40:35 another crazy guy, though he makes a good point, but then he doesn't like it when logically extending that to the concept of a cat...
- 41:40 going where the women are (it didn't work in his previous attempt in street interviews to get a definition...).
- 41:41 Asking questions at a women's march (women should know what is a woman, right?) about 'choice' in ending pregnancies.
- 43:55 to Africa, Nairobi (Kenya), looking for opinions from people there on this topic.
- 50:32 what is gender ideology, who came up with it? (Walsh says: "The Maasai people don't think much about gender,
but they have a firm sense of their identity. It's clear that gender ideology is a uniquely Western phenomenon. So where did all this come from? ")
- 51:21 About education, Kinsey: sexualising children, reforming education.
- 52:55 About John Money, a psychologist, gender ideology was his brain child (WHS: Not really, in that it would have happened anyway as a result of political correctness)
- 53:22 Money's experiment: David Reimer
- 55:23 transitioner F->M with health problems
- 58:52 back to the inane male->female doctor (person 2) on operating on boys/girls
- 59:13 back to the only normal person (person 5).
- 59:34 back to the insane doctor (person 3).
- 1:00:20 back to the F->M with problems
- 1:00:34 back to the only normal person, Miriam Grossman (person 5): osteoporosis in a girl after using hormone blockers for 2 years, Aha, so puberty blockers are not a pause, as I suspected...
- 1:01:09 back to the F->M with problems, who mentions the chemical 'lupron'
- 1:01:57 back to the insane doctor (person 3), who after mentioning that lupron is used to chemically castrate sex offenders, wants to quit the interview
- 1:03:11 back to the normal woman (person 5).
- 1:03:40 father who wanted to protect his daughter from 'gender manipulation', in Canada, got prison time for 'misgendering' his daughter.
- 1:05:45 clinical supervisor about who wins in case of disagreement: always the parent who wants 'gender affirming treatment'.
- 1:06:31 Jordan Peterson: non interesting talk... (he is not interesting in general)
- 1:07:13 clinical supervisor: Are possible consequences of 'gender affirming treatment' (surgery) being told? He says: No.
- 1:07:32 Jordan Peterson: good point about temperament, I would say gender is like hobbies, irrelevant to the outside world which doesn't need to know about your feelings and interests, and pronouns are not about how you feel but about how you want others to think about you which is anti-social (oppressing your views onto others). The issue here too is that society is built a certain way, including language, and that these people want to force changes that are a waste of time for everyone.
- 1:08:29 clinical supervisor: about consequences from talking to Walsh.
- 1:09:04 Jordan Peterson again: about consequences from doing your work or being politically incorrect.
- 1:09:26 Debrah Soh: research is impossible due to influence of activists
- 1:10:27 Carl Trueman: how you see yourself, different from before from being part of different communities and/or sexual orientation (so negat8ve influence from essentially influencers)
- 1:11:05 clinical supervisor: 'queer identities' such as cats...
- 1:11:40 insane guy transgender 'wolf', who claims he knows their non-verbal cues but doesn't want to give an example of communication. Well, I'm sure he is a bullshitter.
- 1:12:39 Carl Trueman: How do we get to this widespread of this ideology: 1) Personal happiness + 2) expressing feelings + 3) interfering with other's happiness is bad + 4) hollywood. WHS: 1&2 are bullshit, there are other reasons. 3 is correct, this comes from political correctness, 4 is correct, this comes from perceiving something as important to get ahead in career, esp. in politics, going along with what some leaders say such that the people in charge go along with and push for the nonsense propaganda in films (and TV series)...
- 1:13:43 social contagion
- 1:15:26 crazy M->F doctor (person 2) about social contagion: he/she says it is not an issue. Sure, I believe him/her.
- 1:15:32 more on social influence: yes, it is a problem
- 1:16:09 back to the F->M with problems: she transitioned at 42...
- 1:16:36 effeminate nutjob (person 6) again, and then the crazy M->F doctor (person 2).
- 1:20:00 Matt Walsh is state-fluid, hilarious
- 1:30:29 everyone is asked again: What is a woman, first the crackpot doctor with blue hair, then the boyish woman, then ...
Walsh concludes by asking his wife "what is a woman", who says "Adult human female", which is generally true but too simple of an answer.

For download: subtitles to which I added with commentary, for Matt Walsh' documentary "What is a woman", v1 (modified from opensubtitles.org: what.is.a.woman.(2022).eng.1cd.(9942725).zip ) .
My added comments are at:
- 4:15 [ clothes fitting with birth certificate ]
xx WHS: she was not told, it was implicit in upbringing, culture.
- 5:00
xx WHS: sex is binary, despite genetic mistakes such as xxy. Gender, if you accept that stuff, is still partly based on biology, for the other part there are a few options based on your beliefs on 'reality'.
- 5:02 Some women have penises, right? Some men have vaginas.
xx WHS: no.
- 5:17 who've said like, oh, I'm a trans woman,
xx WHS: Why take that as truth? What if these people 1) lie, 2) are confused?
- 5:28 or that genitalia doesn't equal gender.
xx WHS: Why take their view as reality?: How does a man feel a woman, because he cannot know what it is like to be a woman, in experiences, in thinking, etc.
- 5:35 That, yeah, a trans woman is a woman.
xx WHS: no.
- 6:29 I'm not a woman, so I, I can't really answer that.
xx WHS: give us a break. You are a woman, just with mental issues.
- 7:29 - I could be a woman too.
- Yes, you could.
xx WHS: no.
- 8:56 - but I have a transgender history.
- Hmm.
xx WHS: so: transsexual
- 9:47 [ on people regretting surgeries ] Well, actually we don't know that they do.
xxx WHS: liar
- 9:57 they may have made a mistake.
xx WHS: this contradicts his earlier statement!
- 11:03 [ people who aren't disabled but feel they should be disabled (and want to be operated on to make that happen), is there a similarity? ] You don't see any, you think this is totally irrelevant?
xx WHS: he doesn't want to admit the similarity, it would give questions to which he has no answers...
- 11:36 [ critics about this gender stuff ] There aren't many, but go ahead.
xx WHS: liar! There are many who don't accept this stuff!
- 11:44 [ 'the dinosaurs of the world': ] - are certainly out there.
- Hmm. - Yeah.
xx WHS: What a nutjob!
- 00:13
Trans women are women!
xx WHS: No, though some exceptions can be made in some cases, rather more for F to M (such as Heidi Krieger to Helmut Krieger), as the reverse gives more issues, voice, behaviour, etc. of things that do not fit.
- 15:36
a hundred percent male identified
xx WHS: Male identified is BS. How does she know what a 'male' is besides external showing of behaviour/clothes? That has only some correlation to your thinking, it is definitely not everything and not determining of your thinking. How does she know how a man thinks?
- 16:51 [ Santa Claus: ] does deliver their Christmas presents.
xx WHS: No he doesn't, the parents do that, and Walsh has her by the balls because evading the relevant comparison makes their justification of gender affirmation invalid. In reality what I said years ago already invalidates that: What about liars and people who are confused?
- 17:18 I would say how wonderful my four-year-old and their imagination is.
xx WHS: Oh my God, she is worse than I thought, she doesn't give a damn about reality and thus about consequences for that child of fantasies that she follows and makes into reality, that this child may regret but then will be forced to live...
- 00:16:55 [ Santa is not real ]: To that child they are.
xx WHS: Not "they are" but "he is".
- 20:24 I'm comfortable saying that gender and sex are, are two different constructs, but they're deeply intertwined with each other.
xx WHS: He doesn't understand it. Psychological gender comes from physical sex + something else. Hormones influence you in several ways, body, thinking....
- 20:44 [ nutty sociologist, about what is a woman ]
why are you asking the question?
xx WHS: WTF? This is about addressing people, it is also important in dating, so you need to know!
- 21:25 Yeah, I mean, I'm really uncomfortable /
with that language of like getting to the truth.
xx WHS: Oh my God! What a pussy! Well, that was already clear from the start (from talking and appearance), this guy is a wimp! (and NOT a truth seeker and thus a waste of time pseudo scientist)
- why is that uncomfortable? / Because that, it sounds actually
21:32
deeply transphobic to me, and if-
xx WHS: What a piece of shit! GTFO!
- You keep invoking the word truth,
21:42 which is condescending and rude.
xx WHS: Well, it turns out he is not just a wimp, but insane!
- This is a place of understanding truth, isn't it or?
22:30
Absolutely we are, we pursue the true truth.
xx WHS: That is not what he said earlier!
- if you're saying the truth is that I get to say you are not a man, show me your genitalia,
22:44
that's transphobic.
xx WHS: This guy is a moron, that was not implied. And even if it had been implied, he should be able to set Walsh straight with his knowledge, right? Of course he can't because he is a moron.
- [ claiming to have different ethnicity than you actually are ]
23:12 it doesn't sound like that's a genuine statement
xx WHS: How do you know? And my "how do you know" is the entire point!
- Of course, I think it's well established /
- that human beings can lie yes. /
- Or not even lie.
23:28 I mean, I could just be mistaken.
xx WHS: Aha, here Walsh comes to the same points I made years ago.
- 23:31 Yeah. I'm not sure where you're going.
xx WHS: Where he is going is clear. Walsh has him by the balls, leading him and forcing him to look at reality.
- So what, so what, what is a woman?
23:53 Why do you ask that question?
xx WHS: You are a supposed expert, so just answer the question!
- 24:13 What other kinds of answers have you gotten?
xx WHS: Just answer the F-ing question you wimp!
- [ on not getting answers ]
And I think that has a lot to do with the way, the questions that preceded it and the,
24:32 the way that you've conducted yourself in the interview.
xx WHS: Bullshit, and even if that were the case (obviously not, other factors cause non-answers as is clear from the behaviour of people he asked), you still haven't answered the question!
- 24:36 How do you think you've conducted yourself?
xx WHS: Answer the F-ing question you wimp!
- 24:42 you just really don't wanna answer the questions do you?
xx WHS: Correct. Good that Walsh doesn't oblige him and doesn't answer his meaningless question in return.
- [ what is a woman? ]
and that's a person who identifies as a woman.
25:04
- But what are they identifying as?
- As a woman.
xx WHS: That is a circular answer and he is too stupid to realise it or gives that answer because he just doesn't want to go deeper into the essence.
- 25:10 Do you know what a circular definition is?
xx WHS; Aha, Walsh isn't fooled, obviously, but also points out that he gives a circular definition, good.
- I think it sounds like you would like me /
to give you a set of biological or cultural characteristics /
25:33
that are associated with one gender or the other.
xx WHS: Whatever Walsh seeks is irrelevant, but this guy is playing the psychologist game of 'tell me how you feel'. Dude, why not tell him YOUR definition?
- I'm just seeking a definition. [ of 'woman' ]
25:40
Yeah, and I gave you one.
xx WHS: No, he didn't.
- It sounds like what you're saying / is that if a man is male, but thinks of himself as a woman, he's not actually a woman.
27:49
That's correct.
xx WHS: finally a non-bulshitter!
- Whose truth are we talking about? / The same truth that says we're sitting in this room
28:07
- right now you and I.
- No, you're not listening.
xx WHS: a nutjob!
- [ about chickens ]
00:28:35 That's a, that's-- We assume they're female
xx WHS: we don't assume that you moron! And you are mixing up talking about sex with gender!
- Case in Connecticut, there were two male track runners,
30:43
- trans-- They were trans girls.
xx WHS: says effeminate sounding guy.
- is that more transgender girls / are coming out in high school and still playing sports,
31:19
and they're not winning.
xx WHS: Oh really, what were they like before transitioning? Weak last-of-the-pack effeminate guys? They would not win...
- of the day, whether or not you win a game
31:36
is not just, is about how hard you work in your practice,
xx WHS: it is about genetics, talent, even intelligence, and added to that mix: hard work, you moron!
- [ M to F in sports ]
There are some slight differences, / but does it translate to a competitive advantage?
32:27
I think you'd be very hard pressed to prove that.
xx WHS: That same delusional male-woman again spouting BS!
- If there was a big advantage / to being transgender in sports,
32:43
then we would see transgender women totally dominating.
xx WHS: Effeminate guy needs new glasses, that is what is happening!
- 35:47
Hello, I'm Congressman Mark Takano.
xx WHS: and someone who doesn't directly answer questions
- Um, I think a person who wants to use a woman's bathroom / who identifies as transgender / really does think themselves as a female. / So how we go about trying to, /
38:36
um, you know, respect their basic right to live.
xxx WHS: Say what? People live, so WTH is he talking about?
- bathrooms are, you know, / where you want to take this conversation
38:58
instead of the basic right to just life
xx WHS: Right to life: WTF is he saying? Again!
- is something that I'm kind of mystified
39:07
that you're kind of not focusing on first.
xx WHS: Why should he? Are all trans people getting killed? So shut the F up about your 'right to life'.
- 39:13
Um, so you know what I think this interview is over.
xx WHS: This guy Mark Takano is a pathetic piece of shit!
- I just wanted to know what is a woman.
39:36
And you're not gonna find out.
xx WHS: Said the POS helper of a POS congressman.
- Well, why are you asking a gay man / as to what it means to be a woman?
40:37
You should be asking women what it means to be women,
xx WHS: yes, in essence similar to what I said: How does anyone else really know what a woman wants, feels like and how she thinks? You can deduce a lot from appearance, behaviour, speaking but even women will probably not know to describe all their feelings.
- 40:39
especially trans women who, what it means to be women.
xx WHS: In essence I think he is saying: They are fakers... Otherwise it means: They should know otherwise their transition story is bogus
- Can anyone have an opinion about it?
40:46
Only people who are women. Gay men don't know nothing
xx WHS: Correct
- 41:10
- Are you a cat? - No.
- Can you tell me what a cat is?
xxx This is also coincidentally the example I gave a friend about this topic: You don't know how a cat thinks, feels, what he/she wants etc. You know a few things, that is all.
-
This is actually a genuine mistake.
41:22
I am sorry I even came up here.
xx WHS: Strange. This example with the cat shows exactly what he/she said about women...
- We're saying someone who is born as a woman, / but identifies as a man, that-- Is that a man?
42:21
- Real man.
- It's a real man. - Yeah.
xx WHS: No.
- So they, so men can get pregnant. / Yes.
42:27
- Yes.
- If they have the parts to do so.
xx WHS: That is not a man but a woman
- If you're not here for women we ask you to leave!
42:55
- What is that?
- He's going to harass you.
xx WHS: a-hole alert!
- 43:28
Asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole, asshole.
xx WHS: Projection: They are talking about themselves...
- Do you guys know what a woman is by any chance?
43:42
No idea.
xx WHS: A problem in asking laymen any definition is that people don't use definitions to differentiate, they know from various factors (the way they dress, talk, goals in life, etc.)
- 52:57
Gender ideology was his brain child.
xx WHS: Not really, in that it would have happened anyway as a result of political correctness...
- 53:04
And according to Money, babies are gender neutral at birth
xx WHS: This shows that he didn't understand the influence of biology...
- and ultimately environment determines
53:09
whether a person is a man or a woman.
xx WHS: complete nonsense. See 46 XY DSD athletes such as Semenya, Niyonsaba etc. who are men, misdiagnosed as girls, supposedly grew up as girls and look, act, move, talk, as men...
- Money also conducted sexually abusive experiments / on the twins throughout their childhood,
53:57
including forcing them to simulate sex acts on each other.
xx WHS: This "John Money" from these actions looks to have been a psychopath
- And that way puberty blockers, / which are completely reversible,
01:00:00
and don't have permanent effects
xx WHS: oh really, what about development will that continue as normal after 1-2 years or final growth will be less etc.?
- Just like if you were to listen in music,
01:00:08
you put the pause on, and we stop the blockers,
xx WHS: The facial expressions of this woman make me think she is retarded... or with no connection to reality
- was put on blockers. They discovered after two years / this 14-year-old girl has osteoporosis.
01:00:46
That's something that like old women get.
xx WHS: So this is exactly the thing I expected as per my previous comment: growth in those 2 years are not as normal and likely has consequences, with this girl it is osteoporosis. So puberty blockers are not a pause, as I suspected...
- I'm not sure that we should continue with this interview, / because it seems like it's going- /
- Why not?
- In a particular direction. /
Well, you're a medical professional.
01:02:12
I am a medical professional.
xx WHS: not really, she is a crackpot, obvious from her actions, way of talking etc.
- And I'm saying as a pediatrician / who takes care of hundreds of these kids, / when you use that terminology
01:02:49
you were being malignant and harmful.
xx WHS: GTFO
- So they were treating it in a similar fashion / that misgendering, mispronouning my child
01:05:42
was the equivalent of family violence.
xx WHS: These people in Canada are insane.
- [ about wolves ] Am I going to read their body language, / respond appropriately to their behaviors
01:12:28
and their nonverbal cues? Yes.
xx WHS: I call bullshit on this
- Would you be able, would you be able to give us / - an example of this wolf communication?
- No.
01:12:36
- I'm not comfortable doing so.
xx WHS: he can't...
- This comes after a 15-year-old / was charged on two separate occasions
01:19:27
for assaulting two different students at different schools.
xx WHS: Even if it hadn't already happened, this bathroom policy is making such acts more likely to happen...
- the social construct of womanhood actually is a woman. /
01:26:03
Part of me wants to ask why you care so much because-
xx WHS: 1) irrelevant, 2) the gender affirmists are the ones who care far more about this topic! They are the ones who force a response by people who are normal-thinking / not indoctrinated!
- And it seems like we should just keep the dialogue going
01:26:35
and, and hopefully find some middle ground.
xx WHS: Next comes a statement that the people taking part complained that they were emotionally damaged by the conversation, in other words they are mentally unstable!
- - It makes me wonder what, what is a woman? / - What is a woman?
01:30:41
A woman is someone who claims that is their identity.
xx WHS: the fruitcake doctor again with a non-answer
- That if you ask women across race, across identities, / across class, across culture,
01:31:01
you will get a different answer.
xx WHS: No, the essence is the same everywhere except in a group of liars, confused people or insane people...
- Some of it is, you know, based on biology, / some of it is based on hormones.
01:31:06
Some of it, it is based on what you wear
xx WHS: no that is not an essence, it is a consequence of how you feel and group belonging.
- 01:31:16
A woman is someone who says that she is a woman
xx WHS: circular argument again, this time from the effeminate guy.
- Can you define the word woman without using the word woman? / I mean that's actually kind of like,
01:31:34
it's a curious question, but I.
xx WHS: that is not a curious question you insufferable muppet (=the bad sociologist)! It is asking for a real definition and not a circular one!
- [ asking his wife ] What is a woman?
01:32:22
An adult human female who needs help opening this?
xx WHS: This is often stated as being the right answer by anti-SJWs but it is not good enough. You can make a case for some deviations such as of a genetic woman being treated as a man, e.g. Heidi Krieger -> Helmut Krieger. The reverse is btw always problematic due to esp. voice, but also facial features, behaviour. These cases should be exceptions such as that case is...
