Matt Walsh in What Is a Woman? (2022)
It's the question you're not allowed to ask. The documentary they don't want you to see.

    Worth Watching

    This documentary is affecting. It starts with emotions of confusion, humor and fascination, and journey's deep into a place of disturbance and despair. It has some mild trolling at the start, but it genuinely gives everyone a chance to speak and doesn't have any dishonest cuts. It handles a topic that's managed to become controversial in maybe the last five years. But it also asks questions, that no matter where you stand we should be asking if we really care about people - are the procedures successful outcomes? Are there lasting after effects or issues? Are we influencing people and in what ways? Do children have a clear sense of self and consent?

    Good but could have done better

    On the plus side
    • interviewed a lot of solemn, pious academics who could not give a non-circular answer to the question "what is a woman?"


    Gaps
    • not much investigative zeal; very partisan
    • did not present the evidence from the UK, Swedish, Finnish and French medical regulators who are raising doubts about treating adolescents with puberty blockers and steroids. Lost opportunity to challenge American gender zealots.

    Upsetting

    This movie, which is basically Matt Walsh trying to get a simple answer to the title question is very well done, while also being frightening, upsetting and sickening in proving how far our society has fallen. It's a must watch for parents, but also anyone horrified by what they see and read in the world today. He talks to both sides, right and left, people on the street and even people in Africa, in a segment that really puts this controversial subject in a different light.

    An adult female

    The fact that we live in a world where a question like this is not only asked but people, especially many women in this documentary, can't seem to be able to answer is mind blowing. Great documentary. The truth sets people free.

    Worth the watch if you can find it.

    Love him or hate him, Matt Walsh has done a brilliant job on this documentary showing us the craziness of the people who believe in the trans movement. I know that Matt works for Daily Wire and they need to make money but I just wish they could have seen fit to release this everywhere for free. Matt and the makers of this film are not hating on people who are suffering form any delusions or depression, they are fighting for the children being abused at the hands of the people who believe they are better than their maker. Recommended viewing, not for the beautiful art, but for making you think about the way the culture is flowing.

      Matt Walsh: One of the drugs used is Lupron, right? Which has actually been used to chemically castrate sex offenders?
