      Yeah that wasn't the greatest definition. I think Matt himself made the point once: just because you have a disease/mutation doesn't mean you aren't still a man or a woman. That just means you're a man or woman with a disease/mutation.
      It's rarely said in these debates but there's other factors that make up the sexes beyond your role in reproduction. Genitalia is just the easiest measurement. There's also bone structure, musculature, and hormones. It goes right down to your DNA!

      In fairness to Matt's interlocketer I don't they are trying to say women who are impeded in child bearing are not women. They want to say that Matt's definition of woman leads to that absurd conclusion therefore we shouldn't hold to Matt's position.
      I think Trent responds to this objection well with his teleological approach to defining what a woman is.

    My 10 year old daughter is hearing the crap out there. I am a outdoorsman and overtly masculine. She is my little side kick, and I take her hunting, fishing, and shooting all the time. She came home one day and asked if she should be a boy because she likes doing these activities with me. I explained that she is just a girl that likes to be outdoors with her daddy like so many other girls. It doesn't mean anything other than that. I went on to youtube to show her channels of girls that love the outdoors and are very girly at the same time. It made her feel better. The poison is out there more than ever parents. She has clung more to mamma since then. I think some of the worry is still in her head. My wife teaches religion at the local Catholic school. She gets all sorts of questions about this stuff from the kids. They have whole lessons now to combat this warping of the mind.

      I think back to my childhood as what used to be referred to as a Tom boy growing up and I couldn’t imagine being told I was actually a boy. It’s so heartbreaking that she’s even had to question herself because of these ideas. Keep strong and be there for your daughter. Keep telling her it’s okay to be a girl who likes to fish, hunt, camp, etc. I am one of them and, as you pointed out to her, there are many girls and women who love to do these activities or even work in professions (like welding) that are almost entirely men but still maintain their femininity. Good luck and God bless 💜

    I'm a Veterinarian and a medical doctor, defining male and female is easy - XX is female, XY is male in all mammals and most vertebrates, period. I love when transgenders bring up Turner's syndrome as proof that chromosomes can produce confusion. Turner's syndrome by definition only occurs in males - read a medical book. If a Y chromosome is present, then the person is male (Turner's are XXY, so are by definition male, though they may have some secondary sex characteristics of females like breast development and female body shape). If there's a Y, its a guy - SCIENCE! Also, when I was in medical school transgender was considered a delusional disorder. I can identify as a bird all I want, never gonna fly.

      I think generally that's true, but our genetic (and all biological and psychological sex characteristics) stem from the fact that we were created as male and female and then all characteristics flow from thst. I think that's the only way to address the intersex issue, without completely dismissing it. Intersex conditions, while a small percent of the population, still effects thousands of people who don't always have XX XY chromosomes, so that can't be the basis of our understanding of what sex you are, even if it usually applies.

      The other issue I see in that is that many repeat the "social construct" concept as fact, but they are ignorant of the philosophy, literary critique etc in which the idea originates. Consequently, they dint seem to perceive that it's a theory not fact, and it's very ideologically motivated and not something truly interested in truth. Indeed, as it originates from Derrida, Foucault etc. It is rooted in a philosophy which denies the existence of truth and meaning themselves... Yet they then claim to be arguing truth lol. Often, academic articles written with this influence are just intellectual masturbation masquerading as sophistication.

    Walsh didn't give a circular response of "a woman is a woman." He said a woman is an "adult HUMAN female", and female is not exclusive to humans. It's a biological term that is used across species (i.e. DOE, a deer, a female deer). I do think Trent gave a more careful definition of "female", but don't think Walsh was far off. There's nothing wrong with Walsh saying a woman is female. Just like saying a doe is female is correct; we're losing the biology of female-ness. While also often, and sadly, losing the dignity of what it means to be human and made in God's image.

I guess because it's part of the branches of science that must be overlooked due to words and their actual definitions, not the one's made up in Gender Studies or sociology classes. It makes it perfectly clear that humans are mammals, which are animals. A fact many of the narcissistic take offense at, even though it's just the truth. And because mammals are determined to be male or female based of their biological sex alone, not what's happening in the mind. How do we tell a male from a female in any other species - cats, dogs, elephants, whatever...is the exact same process for humans. This is where the true nature of ideology is really seen.

However a feminine man with long hair and make up is a feminine man with long hair and make up.

    @stargoddesskotou 2 года назад +28

    Something that bugged me about this whole thing is how people like to say "if you do x and like x then clearly you are x." Luckily, I myself know who I am and have never questioned it. I know I'm a woman who likes to wear my hair short, (sometimes would have it shaved at one side) or that I can relate more to most men than I can to women, and that I have always been a bit of a tomboy. There are times that I like things that are more feminine, but this has never made me question whether I'm a male or female. I remember one time at work, a customer kept calling me sir despite the fact that I don't really look like a man at all, I just had short hair. My facial features and structure are still very feminine. I politely said "I'm a girl," and he apologized and said he wasn't sure because of this day and age, you can never be sure. I just laughed and let it go.
    Another time, I had someone talk to me about what I identified with because they didn't want to be rude, and I just kind of looked confused because, other than short hair again, I am still very female in appearance. I said I'm a girl, I've just got short hair because I'm a tomboy, to which they said "Oh, sweetie, there's no such thing as a tomboy. You're just confused about your gender and are most likely a trans who is being told by society that you have to be labelled as a "tomboy." I explained that No, I knew I was female, I just liked doing things that some would consider more masculine, but I also like to be cutesy and adorable as well some days. And then I get told "Oh, so you're gender fluid, that's all. Don't let society label you, be who you want to be. More people are a part of the LBGTQ+ than they realize."
    I was completely stunned at how to react. They said don't let society push their labels on me, but that's exactly what that person had done, pushed their label onto me. They make you think that you can't be just a man or just a woman if you like things of opposite gender. They want to take those stereotypes away, but then live by them too? Why can't a man like the color pink and be a hairdresser and put on make up and not be considered gay? Why can't a woman shave her head, wear tattoos and not like to dress up without being considered butch? Why is it that men and women cannot enjoy the things they do without people telling them "that makes you x or y"? I think it's hypocritical to say they don't want to be labeled as what their biology says they are, but they are quick to label others.

The dumbasses on Twitter who get so offended by the very notion of blackface forget that the people who actually lived when blackface genuinely was racist had much, much greater injustices facing them. Blackface today without the same racist context and attitudes should not be seen as inherently racist anymore than a swastika in India outside of the attitudes of eugenics and the Nazi party should be seen as anti-semitic. Now that said, there’s really no good reason to use blackface in most scenarios-either let the character be the actor’s race or get another actor who is the desired race for the part-but is it inherently racist?

    Thank you for actually bringing up conditions. I was born with trauma to my brain due to complications during delivery. I know that conditions can be extremely unusual and difficult and not obvious. Most people I meet have no idea I had a severe condition as a child and still have permanent effects from it. There are conditions similar to the one we’re all discussing now. And you’re right that one that is very similar is called Body Integrity Identity Disorder. It also begins in early childhood, the patient is not psychiatric-has rational thoughts, and they also feel like their body is foreign to them. And in particular it’s that a limb is foreign to them. They admire amputees-those that have the body they desire. They experience extreme emotional distress. They recognize that their feelings don’t make logical sense. All of this is exactly the same as gender dysphoria. Exact same symptoms.
    But those of us with conditions can learn to cope and do. We don’t tell people with body integrity disorder that the body they’re in is really not their body. We tell them the truth and get them the support they need to cope.
    We can focus on what we can do and not on what we can’t do. Every person on earth with an incurable condition needs to learn how to cope.
    If my parents and everyone around me had lied to me about my condition then I never would have worked so hard and actually gone through the painful but absolutely necessary process of learning how to cope. But my parents always told me the truth about my condition and even forced me to do things that were basically the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest for me. Forcing me to work very hard just to learn how to read and write. There were teachers who told my parents that I would never learn to read or write.
    But I was evaluated by the top medical experts in children’s health and basically they found I could learn but had to do so in a different way. For example I couldn’t learn my ABCs by just visually seeing the letters. I had to write them in sand. Etc.
    People with conditions need to get actual help and support. I went to special education, went to therapy both speech and regular therapy, etc. And my results are unquestionable. Many people thought I wouldn’t ever do anything. But I literally went from the worst to then eventually joining the regular classes and then graduating top in my class in high school. I still have permanent issues. Hand tremors, I literally have a brain wired differently because my brain formed new neural pathways around the damaged areas-which is what your brain can do at a young age while you’re still developing. And why going through therapy and education like I did at a young age is very important. I therefore do literally think differently than others.
    But I did learn and I did cope. And many many other people do too. Everyone has limitations, even those without conditions. All of us have imperfect bodies. But you don’t focus on what you can’t do but on what you can.
    I believe in God and someday we all will no longer have these conditions. But in our current life we can cope with them and focus on what we can do instead of only thinking of our condition and what we can’t do.

    FEMALE: any member of a sexually dimorphic species who possesses a reproductive system which when fully mature and functional has the capacity to gestate and bear young.
    This avoids all the usual rejoinders: post-menopausal, prepubescence, sterility, hysterectomy, chromosomal and intersex objections and so forth.

    As a person in stem who works in genetics most of the people who have the conditions you mention are the sex of their genitalia (their puberty matches their sex). intersex does not mean ambiguous genitalia, most don’t know they are intersex until they want to have children. Children born with ambiguous genitalia once they hit puberty their actual sex will be known, and they usually go with the sex that matches the hormones. These numbers are very small although there are people who are not in the field try to twist the numbers, because most people have no real understanding of the science. So confusion is easy.

    What’s interesting about Walsh’s definition of woman (an adult human female), is that it’s only circular under our worldview because we believe female and woman are essentially the same.
    But in transgender ideology, female and woman are not the same (one is a sex term and the other is a gender term). So personally, I think Walsh’s definition works just fine and is not circular according to his interlocutors.

    I agree with you regarding the definition of female and the fact that Matt could have handled that question better. However, just to quibble, he wasn't being circular in his response. Saying "a woman is an adult human female" is not the same thing as saying "a woman is whoever identifies as a woman". We all use to instinctively know what "female" meant until two minutes ago, so there was no need to go into more detail. The truth is most people haven't thought about what it is exactly and you can't blame them for that. What I find funny about the "femaleness is a construct" argument of these activists is you could say that for literally every word we use. They are all "constructs" in the sense that their meaning is determined by what we agree upon collectively. A minority is trying to tell us that the way we collectively understand femaleness and maleness is wrong, trying to abolish it, and offering nothing in return. If they can't propose a better definition (other than the tautological "whoever identifies as such"), then all they are doing is whining.

Add Mr.Horn`s teleological approach and I think we are approaching a useful form, of a definition though I am sure we can find addition qualities that are part of the forms.

    Great video! Thanks for juxtaposing this issue with anorexia. As transgenderism typically manifests at around the same stage in life as anorexia, it’s plain to see that both are expressions of bodily narcissism, and a typical component of narcissism is to popularize lies or half-truths, to draw in others to agree with them. What’s ultimately sad about this population is the consistent tendency towards self harm. You brought up the high rates of suicidal ideation. A big problem is that health professionals tend to separate that from transgenders willingly going under the knife to be mutilated, as though that doesn’t classify as self harm. If we just look at the example of Phil Ochs, we can see that as soon as someone denies their own name, it’s the first step towards self harm, because it’s born out of self loathing.

    24:30 this objection is easily dealt with. The objection presupposes that "female" is a definite description, but if you take an essentialist view (either a modal view like Kripke or a classical realist view like Aristotle and Thomists), then the objection goes out the window. On an essentialist view, a term isn't just a collection of properties and so if you lack a property you aren't the thing anymore, a thing is defined with reference to its natural kind, so a cat with a missing eye, ear, and leg is still a cat even though it lacks things generally had by cats (four legs, two eyes, two ears) because it still falls under the natural kind as a _malformed_ or _disabled_ cat. An infertile female doesn't cease to be a female then because it lacks something that women naturally have, she would simply be a physically malformed female. Science presupposes essentialism, because otherwise you couldn't specify phenomena as physical or mental _disorders_ at all.

For example just because my maternal grandmother was 1/8 aboriginal does not make me aboriginal, but it seems a lot of people can’t comprehend simple arithmetic.
    40 to 50 years ago it was fashionable in Australia to find a transported convict in one’s ancestry, this Aboriginie in one’s ancestry thing is just a modern update on that. Problem is having a aboriginal in one’s ancestry no more makes one a aboriginal than having a convict in one ancestry makes one a convict. Of course no one claimed they were convicts simply because one had one in one’s ancestry, they just claimed they were descended from a convict. Yet today it’s not uncommon to find Australians claiming they’re aboriginals simply because they have (for example say in my example) 1/32 aboriginal ancestry.

    I guess the question would be why is the choice to wear a certain color or prefer a type of dress connected to the typical ability to procreate? Why can't we just say sex = male / female and gender = spectrum. The real problem is that our society switched from using sex to gender as the determinate for a multitude of things: birth certificate, sports, bathrooms, any application, etc... I think we should concede the point that some can be more masculine or feminine than others, but that doesn't mean your sex changed. The definition of a woman is irrelevant really because society should care about sex.

    I like your explanation of what a woman is. I think it skips a few steps in this particular argument however, the counter arguments would still be the same. The reason why I'd go with Matt's definition is because it not only addresses the species of the female but the recognition of age. Woman is a term that is defined as an adult human female, whereas girl is defined as a human female child. Both belong to the human species and naturally ordered to gestate. However, one is not yet mature enough to perform the task of the other. I think that's why it's important to define women as adult human females rather than our innate reproductive functions.
    There are anomalies in all things but that doesn't change the standard. The transcommunity likes to use this argument to go down a long, twisted, time-wasting path to distract from the point while failing to prove theirs. I think that's why Matt stopped him and threw the question back at them. I've had many debates with transidentified males and they always bring up this argument which is always time consuming despite my many attempts to demonstrate how anomalies do not change the standard. They will never concede the point even when proven wrong. It eventually becomes a battle of attrition with the dilberate goal of making the sain person irritated by repeating points over and over again until they give up the conversation. It's a trap.
