A Trans EMT Challenges Matt Walsh To A Debate On Biology

[00:00] how would you define a woman because

[00:03] you've asked other uh people up here to

[00:07] Define how we would Define a woman how

[00:09] would you define a woman Mr Walsh uh an

[00:12] adult human

[00:22] female and how don't trans people how

[00:26] doesn't a transgender woman fit that

[00:27] definition female

[00:30] because they're not they're not female

[00:33] they they have they

[00:34] have you said that you are a biological

[00:38] male correct I said I'm transgender um I

[00:41] might be inter sex for all we know about

[00:44] almost as many people in the world are

[00:47] transgender as in Sex and a lot of

[00:50] people don't know well but that's a

[00:52] different conversation INX that's a

[00:53] genetic anomaly that's a medical

[00:55] condition so that that's a completely

[00:57] different conversation that's also not a

[00:58] that's not a third gender that's just a

[01:00] that's a genetic anomaly that occurs

[01:01] within the sex binary of male and female

[01:05] um

[01:08] a so what you're saying is that a quote

[01:11] unquote transwoman is a

[01:13] female by the definitions I'm familiar

[01:15] with

[01:18] yes so how would you define female

[01:23] biology through my training in

[01:26] healthcare there are several different

[01:29] categories for how we Define sex people

[01:31] bring up chromosomes people also bring

[01:34] up hormone levels people bring up all

[01:36] sorts of other categories lots of people

[01:38] don't fit neatly into a gender binary

[01:41] even people we don't consider to be

[01:43] interex it's a complicated

[01:47] Spectrum it it's not complicated but you

[01:50] also didn't you also didn't Define so

[01:52] what is what is a woman what is a female

[01:54] what what do these words

[01:56] mean it's complicated and I know you're

[01:58] not going to like that answer but that's

[02:00] because there are no simple answers in

[02:02] human biology you guys hang on just let

[02:05] me finish you guys like to bring up high

[02:09] school level biology classes a lot I get

[02:11] that a lot but people who go on to more

[02:14] complicated biology classes will talk

[02:16] about sex as a spectrum it's

[02:19] not it's not well biological researchers

[02:23] would disagree with you well then

[02:24] they're full of the ones that would say

[02:25] that there's

[02:31] there are all

[02:34] right there are male gametes and female

[02:37] gametes oh I had one I had one last

[02:40] question I just said one I one quick can

[02:42] we can you come back for one second

[02:43] because this is an important question

[02:44] you said you're an EMT yes I am okay if

[02:47] you're responding you're responding to a

[02:50] health

[02:51] emergency biological male somebody with

[02:54] a penis is uh is having a medical

[02:58] emergency and they say to you um I think

[03:01] I'm having a

[03:03] miscarriage would you would you check

[03:06] them to see if they're having a miscar

[03:07] would you consider that a possibility

[03:08] for

[03:17] them no but that's because some people

[03:21] don't have body

[03:23] parts doesn't mean they're not a woman

[03:28] okay sounds like we established there

[03:30] are some people who in principle can get

[03:33] pregnant and there are some people who

[03:36] can't there's two categories otherwise

[03:39] known as binary lots of women can't get

[03:42] pregnant either yeah but they're still

[03:44] of the nature to get pregnant the only

[03:46] reason but they can't get pregnant yes

[03:49] truth matters right it it does that's

[03:52] what I'm trying to explain to you truth

[03:54] matters and they can't get pregnant

[03:56] that's the truth so how are they still

[03:58] wom because they are

[04:02] for for this for the same reason for the

[04:04] for the same reason that I that I can

[04:07] rightly say that human beings have two

[04:11] legs and if a person is born with only

[04:13] one leg that doesn't call into question

[04:16] the statement that human beings have two

[04:19] legs okay a person being born with one

[04:21] leg doesn't mean that now legs are on a

[04:23] spectrum and we can't say we can't say

[04:26] anything at all about how many legs a

[04:28] person has who knows they could have

[04:29] they could be a centipede you know they

[04:30] could have they could have a 100 legs no

[04:33] we know human beings have two legs if a

[04:35] human is born without two legs something

[04:38] went wrong they were supposed to have

[04:40] that second leg something went wrong if

[04:42] you if you if you meet a person on the

[04:43] street who only has one leg maybe maybe

[04:45] they had an accident maybe they were in

[04:47] war maybe maybe something you know maybe

[04:48] they were in a car accident maybe they

[04:49] had cancer a leg was cut off but you

[04:51] know that something went wrong because

[04:53] of the by their nature they're supposed

[04:55] to have two legs same thing for a woman

[04:57] a woman by her nature can get pregnant a

[05:00] man by his nature never can so if you

[05:02] meet a woman of childbearing age say

[05:04] she's 28 years old and she can't get

[05:06] pregnant you know automatically that

[05:08] something has gone wrong and she can go

[05:10] to the doctor and find out what that

[05:12] thing is even if they can't fix it so

[05:15] that proves that women by their nature

[05:17] can get pregnant because the simple fact

[05:18] that she can't shows you that there's

[05:20] something wrong this is what is known as

[05:22] the exception that proves the rule

[05:24] whereas if a male with a penis can't get

[05:26] pregnant no doctor on Earth is going to

[05:28] run tests to see what's wrong with him

[05:31] because they already know it's that he's

[05:32] a male and there's only male and female

[05:34] those who can get pregnant and those who

[05:36] can't so all right that's it that's
