A teaching assistant tore the flyers down and filed a \u2018bias incident report\u2019. The LGBT center on campus offered a safe space to students on campus during the talk, and the university put out an official statement condemning the content of Walsh\u2019s lecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are aware that a speaker is coming to campus on Monday whose viewpoints we believe are harmful towards the trans community.\u201d The statement read.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re aware because they approved the event.\u201d Walsh responded. \u201cThey are aware of what they are doing, which is more than I can say for Joe Biden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh challenged the university\u2019s statement that they \u2018affirm and celebrate a spectrum of perspectives\u2019 and argued that by taking a vocal stance on the issue they made it apparent that they only affirmed viewpoints that conformed to a far left ideology <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-majority-of-american-voters-say-transgender-movements-targeting-of-underage-minors-has-gone-too-far\">out of step with most Americans<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh then outlined his view, that male and female are fundamentally biological categories that conform to the production of male and female gametes, sperm and ova, and the suite of characteristics that complement them in reproduction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA female is that member of the human species who, by her nature, can become pregnant, while a male is the member of the human species who can impregnate the female.\u201d Walsh explained, arguing that non-binary characterizations of sex could not provide any biological basis for additional sexes within the human species. \u201cIt\u2019s not complicated, it\u2019s not confusing which is why nobody ever was confused by it until 8 seconds ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh compared the idea that sex and gender were fluid to the idea that geometry is fluid, and argued that the claim that a man could be a woman was even more absurd and pernicious than claiming that a square could be a circle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe untruth at the core of gender ideology, of the transgender phenomenon, reaches down to the deepest conceivable level.Gender ideology wages its assault against our knoweldege of ourselves.\u201d Walsh said, arguing that such a worldview \u2018replaces light with darkness\u2019 and by its very nature results in self-contradictory confusion in those who adhere to it.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh took the time to respond to the four principal objections to his position, although he argued that the burden of proof should be on those arguing that \u2018men can get pregnant.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re coming along to deny what everyone in the world has always known to be the case, you are the one who has to prove that assertion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>1.Sex and Gender are not identical<\/p>\n<p>Walsh argued that he had \u201cno use for the term \u2018gender\u2019\u201d and that it was gender theorists who advocated for the sex\/gender split in the first place, before the \u201ccollapsing the very sex\/gender distinction that [they] invented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you did still affirm a definitional distinction between sex and gender then you would also have to affirm that there is in this world a binary category of male and female, and that those who belong to one group cannot cross the chasm between the two.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh noted that transgender activists would not affirm any binary distinction between \u2018trans women\u2019 and \u2018women, and claimed that \u201cthe whole sex\/gender thing was nothing but a sleight of hand trick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see only men and women, males and females. Each individual in either group has a different way of being and expressing themselves and understanding the world, that\u2019s true, but we don\u2019t need the word \u2018gender\u2019 to describe that. We have a word for that: it\u2019s called \u2018personality.\u2019<\/p>\n<p> 2.You say that \u2018women can get pregnant\u2019 but what about women that can\u2019t get pregnant.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh compared this objection to arguing against describing human beings as \u2018bipedal\u2019 because some people don\u2019t walk on two legs. \u201cDoes the existence of amputees and infants call into question the notion that humans have two legs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh argued that human beings naturally have two legs \u201cunless accident, or disease or deformity intervenes. The humans without two legs should have two legs, but they don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire Host Matt Walsh made waves at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Monday night while student activists protested outside after vandalizing a veteran\u2019s memorial on campus.
