'Cause you've asked other, uh, people up here to define how we would define a woman. [0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=9) How would you define a woman, Mr. Walsh? [0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=11) Uh, an adult human female. [0:22](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=22) And how don't trans people, how doesn't a transgender woman fit that definition? [0:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=27) Female. Because they're not, they're not female. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=32) They, they, they have, they have ... Y- you said that you are a biological male, correct? [0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=38) I said I'm transgender. Um, I might be intersex for all we know. [0:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=42) About a- almost as many people in the world are transgender as intersex, and- Well- ... a lot of people don't know. [0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=50) Well, but that's a different conversation. Intersex, that's a genetic anomaly. [0:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=53) That's a medical condition. So let, that's a completely different conversation. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=57) That's also not a s- that's not a third gender. [0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=58) That's just a, that's a genetic anomaly that occurs within the sex binary of male and female. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=63) Um, a ... [1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=68) So you, what you're saying is that a quote, unquote, "trans woman" is a female? [1:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=73) By the definitions I'm familiar with, yes. [1:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=78) So how would you define female? Her biology. [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=83) Through my training in healthcare, there are several different categories for how we define sex. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=90) People bring up pr- chromosomes. People also bring up hormone levels. [1:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=94) People bring up all sorts of other categories. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=97) Lots of people don't fit neatly into a gender binary, even people we don't consider to be intersex. [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=103) It's a complicated spectrum. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=108) It, it's not complicated, but you also didn't, you also didn't define. [1:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=111) So, so what is, what is a woman? What is a female? [1:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=113) What do, what do these words mean? It's complicated, and I know you're not gonna like that answer. Oh. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=119) But that's because there are no simple answers in human biology. [2:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=122) Let me ask you a question. You guys- Can I ask you one last question? [2:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=124) Well, hang on. I, just let me finish. You guys like to bring up high school level biology classes a lot. [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=130) I get that a lot, but people who go on to more complicated biology classes will talk about s- sex as a spectrum. [2:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=138) It's not. It's not. Well, biological researchers would disagree with you on that. [2:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=143) Well, then they're full of the ones that would say that. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=145) There's, look, there are- All right ... there are male gametes and female gametes. [2:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=156) Oh, I had one, I had one last question. Wait, Mr. Walsh, can I ask a question? [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=159) You have one question. I, I just have one, I have one quick... [2:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=161) Can we, can we, can you come back for one second? [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=162) 'Cause I, this is an important question. You said you're an EMT. [2:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=165) Yes. EMT. Okay, if you're responding, you're responding to a, a health emergency, biological male, somebody with a penis is, uh, is having a medical emergency. [2:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=178) And they say to you, "Um, I think I'm having a miscarriage." [3:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=183) Would you, would you check them to see if they're having a miscarriage? [3:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=186) Would you consider that a possibility for them? [3:13](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=193) Look. [3:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=197) No, but- ... that's because some people don't have body parts. [3:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=204) Doesn't mean they're not a woman. Okay. Sounds like we've established there are some people who, in principle, can get pregnant, and there are some people who can't. [3:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=217) So there's two categories. Otherwise known as binary. [3:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=220) Lots of women can't get pregnant either. [3:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=223) Yeah, but they're still of the nature to get pregnant. [3:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=225) The only reason- But they can't get pregnant. [3:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=227) Yes, but they- Truth matters, right? Yeah. It, it does. That's what I'm trying to explain to you. [3:53](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=233) Truth matters, and they can't get pregnant. [3:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=235) Okay, I- That's the truth, so how are they still women? [3:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=238) Because they are- For, for the s- for the same reason, for the, for the same reason that I, that I can rightly say that human beings have two legs, and if a person is born with only one leg, that doesn't call into question the statement that human beings have two legs, okay? [4:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=259) A person being born with one leg doesn't mean that now legs are on a spectrum, and we can't say- ... we can't say anything at all about how many legs a person has. Who knows? [4:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=268) They could ha- they could be a centipede. [4:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=269) You know, they could have a, they could have 100 legs. [4:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=272) No. We know human beings have two legs. If a human is born without two legs, something went wrong. [4:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=278) They were supposed to have that second leg. [4:40](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=280) Something went wrong. If you, if you, if you meet a person on the street who only has one leg, maybe, maybe they had an accident. [4:45](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=285) Maybe they were in war. Maybe, maybe some- you know, maybe they were in a car accident. [4:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=288) Maybe they had cancer. A leg was cut off. [4:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=290) But you know that something went wrong because of th- by their nature, they're supposed to have two legs. [4:55](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/Rj1QVgzxKbcu/en/matt-walsh-and-transgender-emt-debate-womanhood-and-biological-sex?t=295) Same thing for a woman. A woman, by her nature-
