‘What is a woman?’ exposes the lunacy of pro-trans extremism

What is a woman?....Conservative writer Matt Walsh has produced a documentary with the question as its title, hoping to get to the bottom of it....The film is a cross between Michael Moore’s 1989 documentary “Roger & Me,” where the filmmaker pursued General Motor’s CEO Roger Smith....Except Walsh’s subjects haven’t been tricked into anything. They really believe what they are saying. Dr. Michelle Forcier, a dean at Brown University medical school, refuses to concede that there is such a thing as reality and ends up talking about suicidal chickens when Walsh asks her whether we are assigning a gender to a chicken laying an egg. She’s not alone. Walsh leaves medical professionals arguing that Santa Claus is real because he is real to children and that what we believe is true is true even when it’s not....One therapist in Tennessee argues that she can’t answer “what a woman” is because she’s not a woman. The twist is that she clearly is a woman. I asked Walsh how he got these people to talk to him on the record. He told me, “They didn’t expect to be challenged. It is inconceivable to them that anyone would expect real answers.” One of the few medical professionals in the film.... is Dr. Miriam Grossman. She believes that some number of the population is indeed gender dysphoric and transgender, putting that number in the “1 in 30,000-110,000 range” — and says it’s important to separate those people, who have genuine, deep discomfort with their bodies, from the recent spike in pubescent kids suddenly coming out as genderfluid or trans. It makes no statistical sense if your middle schooler has three or five or 10 friends who’ve suddenly become gender nonbinary. The numbers don’t add up. ....Many us are “live and let live,” believing there is indeed a tiny segment of the population who are transgender; we’d happily let adults live however makes them happy. But the current moment simply won’t allow for that. You will be made to care and conform. And if you don’t like leftist gender ideology pushed on children, you’ll be deemed a bigot. The Biden administration removed the word “mother” from health agency communications in favor of “birthing person.” Women are being erased from culture. Medical professionals won’t definitively answer what a woman is.... https://nypost.com/2022/06/12/what-is-a-woman-exposes-the-lunacy-of-pro-trans-extremism/       "You are all child abusers. You prey upon impressionable children and indoctrinate them into your insane ideological cult, a cult which holds many fanatical views but none so deranged as the idea that boys are girls and girls are boys. By imposing this vile nonsense on students to the point even of forcing young girls to share locker rooms with boys, you deprive these kids of safety, of privacy, and of something more fundamental, too, which is truth. If education is not grounded in truth, then it is worthless, worse, it is poison. You are poison. You are predators. I can see why you try to stop us from speaking, you know that your ideas are indefensible, you silence the opposing side because you have no argument. You can only hide under your beds like pathetic little gutless cowards, hoping that we will shut up and go away. But we won’t. I promise you that." –Matt Walsh, addressing the Loudoun County School Board in the documentary, What Is a Woman?   ******   I believe the LGBT community in America is very broad and diverse. That includes the transgender community. I don't believe all within the LGBT community in total are seeking to behave in an "extremist" manner. And I don't believe the entire LGBT community seeks to indoctrinate children. But just because the entire community is not doing it, it doesn't mean a large cross section of the radical leftist extremist elements of the LGBT community is somehow absolved of their actions and behavior.  Matt Walsh points out something both chilling and honest at the same time - Some of the largest proponents of what amounts to pro-trans extremism never expected to be publicly challenged at all. And thus have no answers to give.  Dr. Miriam Grossman points out that the explosion of "trendy" converts into the LGBT community are likely drowning out those who are often silent and truly struggling because because they aren't the loudest, the most extreme and the ones most incentivized to create a personal brand, platform or monetize their role in the LGBT community.  I started this thread to have a running archive of what I consider to be "pro-trans extremism" in the current American political, social, medical, educational and cultural climate.
