I think you advocate for opening up bathrooms and sports teams because, from your perspective, the rape, trauma, and abuse that happens as a result is worth it \u2014 as long as your ideology wins the day and your self-perceptions are reinforced. Because that\u2019s all you care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you represent something that is not only anti-scientific and irrational, but evil. And I think you have evil intentions,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think you\u2019re bad people, and I think that you are neither correct nor well-meaning. And if one person in the whole world, in your whole life, saying this to you causes you to spiral into depression and be plagued by nightmares, maybe that should clue you in. It sounds like your conscience is trying to tell you something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh noted that he and his family face constant threats and mean comments \u2014 but without the benefit of a society willing to accept him without question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI encounter more outright hostility in a day than you have in your whole life. \u2026 I didn\u2019t have the audience clapping for me. You do,\u201d he added. \u201cAnd yet I\u2019ve slept like a baby every night since that taping. That\u2019s because I know I\u2019m standing in the truth \u2014 not just factually, but morally. You don\u2019t have that same self-assurance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, maybe you should look within yourself. That\u2019s all you ever do anyway. You\u2019re constantly staring back into yourself, shouting into the cavern of your own ego, listening to the echo. Well, while you\u2019re in there, maybe try a bit of actual introspection. It might serve you well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beyond his debunking of left-wing gender ideology on \u201cDr. Phil,\u201d Walsh is a children\u2019s author \u2014 penning \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Johnny-Walrus-Matt-Walsh\/dp\/1956007059\/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=matt+walsh&amp;qid=1638715453&amp;s=books&amp;sr=1-3\">Johnny the Walrus<\/a>,\u201d a bestselling book that challenges the transgender agenda being pushed on children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took me many laborious months to write,\u201d Walsh recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/first-we-saved-abuela-then-we-saved-virginia-now-we-are-saving-childrens-books\">recounted<\/a>. \u201cCountless nights were spent hunched over my typewriter, honing and crafting this work of literature. In brief, it is a story about a creative and imaginative young child. Like most young children, he likes to play pretend. One day, he pretends to be a walrus. He even has wood spoons in his mouth like tusks and socks on his hands like fins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut unfortunately his mommy is the confused and impressionable sort, and she learns from the internet that if your child identifies as something, then he must actually be that thing,\u201d he continued. \u201cOver time, though (spoiler alert), Johnny\u2019s mommy comes to understand that just because a child pretends to be something, that doesn\u2019t mean he actually is what he\u2019s pretending to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
