1. 0:00how would you define a woman because
2. 0:03you've asked other uh people up here to
3. 0:07Define how we would Define a woman how
4. 0:09would you define a woman Mr Walsh uh an
5. 0:12adult human
6. 0:22female and how don't trans people how
7. 0:26doesn't a transgender woman fit that
8. 0:27definition female
9. 0:30because they're not they're not female
10. 0:33they they have they
11. 0:34have you said that you are a biological
12. 0:38male correct I said I'm transgender um I
13. 0:41might be inter sex for all we know about
14. 0:44almost as many people in the world are
15. 0:47transgender as in Sex and a lot of
16. 0:50people don't know well but that's a
17. 0:52different conversation INX that's a
18. 0:53genetic anomaly that's a medical
19. 0:55condition so that that's a completely
20. 0:57different conversation that's also not a
21. 0:58that's not a third gender that's just a
22. 1:00that's a genetic anomaly that occurs
23. 1:01within the sex binary of male and female
24. 1:05um
25. 1:08a so what you're saying is that a quote
26. 1:11unquote transwoman is a
27. 1:13female by the definitions I'm familiar
28. 1:15with
29. 1:18yes so how would you define female
30. 1:23biology through my training in
31. 1:26healthcare there are several different
32. 1:29categories for how we Define sex people
33. 1:31bring up chromosomes people also bring
34. 1:34up hormone levels people bring up all
35. 1:36sorts of other categories lots of people
36. 1:38don't fit neatly into a gender binary
37. 1:41even people we don't consider to be
38. 1:43interex it's a complicated
39. 1:47Spectrum it it's not complicated but you
40. 1:50also didn't you also didn't Define so
41. 1:52what is what is a woman what is a female
42. 1:54what what do these words
43. 1:56mean it's complicated and I know you're
44. 1:58not going to like that answer but that's
45. 2:00because there are no simple answers in
46. 2:02human biology you guys hang on just let
47. 2:05me finish you guys like to bring up high
48. 2:09school level biology classes a lot I get
49. 2:11that a lot but people who go on to more
50. 2:14complicated biology classes will talk
51. 2:16about sex as a spectrum it's
52. 2:19not it's not well biological researchers
53. 2:23would disagree with you well then
54. 2:24they're full of the ones that would say
55. 2:25that there's
56. 2:31there are all
57. 2:34right there are male gametes and female
58. 2:37gametes oh I had one I had one last
59. 2:40question I just said one I one quick can
60. 2:42we can you come back for one second
61. 2:43because this is an important question
62. 2:44you said you're an EMT yes I am okay if
63. 2:47you're responding you're responding to a
64. 2:50health
65. 2:51emergency biological male somebody with
66. 2:54a penis is uh is having a medical
67. 2:58emergency and they say to you um I think
68. 3:01I'm having a
69. 3:03miscarriage would you would you check
70. 3:06them to see if they're having a miscar
71. 3:07would you consider that a possibility
72. 3:08for
73. 3:17them no but that's because some people
74. 3:21don't have body
75. 3:23parts doesn't mean they're not a woman
76. 3:28okay sounds like we established there
77. 3:30are some people who in principle can get
78. 3:33pregnant and there are some people who
79. 3:36can't there's two categories otherwise
80. 3:39known as binary lots of women can't get
81. 3:42pregnant either yeah but they're still
82. 3:44of the nature to get pregnant the only
83. 3:46reason but they can't get pregnant yes
84. 3:49truth matters right it it does that's
85. 3:52what I'm trying to explain to you truth
86. 3:54matters and they can't get pregnant
87. 3:56that's the truth so how are they still
88. 3:58wom because they are
89. 4:02for for this for the same reason for the
90. 4:04for the same reason that I that I can
91. 4:07rightly say that human beings have two
92. 4:11legs and if a person is born with only
93. 4:13one leg that doesn't call into question
94. 4:16the statement that human beings have two
95. 4:19legs okay a person being born with one
96. 4:21leg doesn't mean that now legs are on a
97. 4:23spectrum and we can't say we can't say
98. 4:26anything at all about how many legs a
99. 4:28person has who knows they could have
100. 4:29they could be a centipede you know they
101. 4:30could have they could have a 100 legs no
102. 4:33we know human beings have two legs if a
103. 4:35human is born without two legs something
104. 4:38went wrong they were supposed to have
105. 4:40that second leg something went wrong if
106. 4:42you if you if you meet a person on the
107. 4:43street who only has one leg maybe maybe
108. 4:45they had an accident maybe they were in
109. 4:47war maybe maybe something you know maybe
110. 4:48they were in a car accident maybe they
111. 4:49had cancer a leg was cut off but you
112. 4:51know that something went wrong because
113. 4:53of the by their nature they're supposed
114. 4:55to have two legs same thing for a woman
115. 4:57a woman by her nature can get pregnant a
116. 5:00man by his nature never can so if you
117. 5:02meet a woman of childbearing age say
118. 5:04she's 28 years old and she can't get
119. 5:06pregnant you know automatically that
120. 5:08something has gone wrong and she can go
121. 5:10to the doctor and find out what that
122. 5:12thing is even if they can't fix it so
123. 5:15that proves that women by their nature
124. 5:17can get pregnant because the simple fact
125. 5:18that she can't shows you that there's
126. 5:20something wrong this is what is known as
127. 5:22the exception that proves the rule
128. 5:24whereas if a male with a penis can't get
129. 5:26pregnant no doctor on Earth is going to
130. 5:28run tests to see what's wrong with him
131. 5:31because they already know it's that he's
132. 5:32a male and there's only male and female
133. 5:34those who can get pregnant and those who
134. 5:36can't so all right that's it that's
