‘What is a Woman?’: A Review

 

The Daily Wire released Matt Walsh’s documentary about the transgender movement afflicting American society to subscribers on Tuesday night, the start of Pride month. They admitted in their Daily Wire Backstage discussion on the subject that it was an exercise in trolling. I watched it that night and have since cast it to the living room TV for Elder and Mr. C to watch with me.

It’s no doubt an overused phrase, but this may be the most important (entertaining, moving, hilarious, . . .) documentary you see this year. Or at least until Candace Owens’ movie on George Floyd and the rise of BLM comes out later in the month.

I won’t be giving too much away when I tell you, Scott Newgent, founder of TReVoices, and himself a trans man, is the hero of the movie. He reveals in personal and painful terms just how transition surgeries affected him. He’s passionately opposed to the mutilation of children going on in this country, both physical and chemical. And the movie pulls no punches. You’ll get to meet the Mengele of transition surgery, too, among the other wicked purveyors of “affirming” medical and psychological malpractice.

What is a Woman? is only available to subscribers to The Daily Wire. You’ll need either the Insider membership at $12/month or All Access at $20/month to watch it. It’s worth every penny.

    On Monday I had lunch at Panera Bread. The young woman at the counter was wearing a name tag with “she/her” under her name. My first time seeing that in real life. I wanted to say “thank you for letting me use the English language.” What I said was “hi, i’ll take the pick two…”

    She looked like standard issue young lesbian to me.

    Why? What do they get out of it?

    What a lot of people are getting out of the trans craze is money. Scott Newgent made that clear. Then too, a lot of people Mike Walsh interviewed have an obvious career investment in continuing this insanity. If the trans thing collapsed they’d be as discredited as the girls in 1692 were by 1693 or 1694. And , let’s face it, the trans promoters—-like the girls in Salem who had to face the families of the people who were hanged—-might be something more than discredited as people continue living with the consequences of operations and chemical poisoning, or continue dying by the suicides their “gender affirming” surgeries and treatments were supposed to prevent.

    Then too, the people pushing the trans craze gain greater social control for a certain class by weakening the protective authority of parents. You’re uncomfortable preteen wants to castrate himself, and his mother or stepmother is on board with it ? Soon you, his dad, won’t be able to prevent it. You’re daughter gets raped in the girl’s bathroom ? It didn’t happen. And you’ll find yourself arrested if you keep insisting that it did. Your 18 year old daughter wants to cut off her breasts ? You can’t insist she be forced to take time to consider.

    I just never thought of your rank and file government workers as benefitting by being trans.

    Yes, my wife just got through working for the feds for 3 years. From what I can see at the lower level much of it is a make work program. There is a points system for getting hired / promoted. The more disabilities, races, ethic, experiences you have the better your chances and perks. Even IBS gets you points, partial blindness is points, races / ethics are points, genders are points, etc. I can’t say people are going tran for the bennies. It may be more a point of if you are willing to play the intersection game the federal government is the place it works for you.

    Wow. I didn’t know they had such a generous point system. I have a bad hip, a hairy lip, a freudian slip, and a funny looking great toe. What are my odds of getting a government job? :)

    better than those that do not.

    If I ever run into this I’m going to annoy the hell out of the little fascists by exclusively and repeatedly using the name on the name tag and not their damned 3rd person pronouns!!

    I don’t think we’re likely to get to know each other so well that I’ll be talking about “her” with the family when I get home. And if she’s not in the room with me, why does “she” care what stinkin’ pronouns I use!

    A couple of the employees were wearing Pride Month t-shirts. I could quibble about it being May 30.

    I was hoping there would be a post. I watched it last night, and was very impressed. Will probably be thinking about it for several days.

    The “physician”, Dr. Forcier, with the blue hair was a clown, and I can’t help but wonder if she is actually a doctor. She had a strong streak of the New Age about her. It was great to see interviews with oppositional doctors etc. People need to see their intelligence and articulateness, and know that this madness hasn’t affected them all, or even most.

    I took some solace in the fact that Newgent said the surgery is around $70,000.

    The local armed forces recruiting center guys tell me that some are signing up with the expectation that the military will pay for their reassignment surgeries.

    Their expectation is accurate.
