Roughly 100 protesters gathered outside the event, but no serious incidents occurred.<\/p>\n<p>Before the event began, Young America\u2019s Foundation, a conservative student organization that sponsored Walsh\u2019s speaking tour, interviewed several students about their thoughts on Walsh\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a difference between free speech and hate speech,\u201d one young woman said. \u201cIf it is free and it is, like, what you believe, then that\u2019s great. But if it\u2019s against, like, the safety and health of other people, then it\u2019s not right.\u201d Hate speech does not exist in the United States as a legal concept, and what is often considered \u201chate speech\u201d in other countries is protected in America by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We toured around UC Berkeley to ask students how they felt about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@mattwalshblog<\/a> speaking tonight. It did not disappoint. Here&#8217;s what they said: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cXYl006tGs\">pic.twitter.com\/cXYl006tGs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 YAF (@yaf) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yaf\/status\/1593420689104478208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At the start of Walsh\u2019s lecture, he quipped about the city\u2019s issues with drug abuse and sanitation. \u201cThe thing I really loved about this area is that you can always find your way downtown, even if you don\u2019t have a map or GPS, because you can just follow the stench of weed and fecal matter \u2026 this is public speaking 101, to start by insulting the host city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh also noted that it was \u201cprovidential\u201d that he came to San Francisco to discuss the subject of gender ideology, as earlier this week, the city announced its \u201cGuaranteed Income For Trans People\u201d or GIFT, program, which will offer a select group of transgender individuals $1,200 a month because members of the trans community are \u201cdisproportionately impacted by poverty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe already know that trans people are disproportionately affected by everything, really. \u2026 If there was an apocalyptic asteroid strike, the very last news report filed for CNN would have the headline, \u2018Asteroid Apocalypse At Hand: Trans &#038; BIPOC Most Affected.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walsh also noted that gender confused individuals tend to have higher rates of mental illness and substance abuse, which he argues is a better explanation for their higher levels of poverty than alleged discrimination, given that the disparity exists in a place like San Francisco where the social attitudes toward such people are exceptionally welcoming.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh also noted that the official government application form for the GIFT program includes 15 sets of gender pronouns such as ve\/ver\/vis and a sexual orientation of \u201cf*****\u201d (a slur for homosexuals who would seemingly be covered under the also listed \u201cgay\u201d orientation). Walsh noted other seeming redundancies in the list of 97 gender identities, such as \u201ctrans woman\u201d and \u201cwoman of transgender experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are these pronouns, what do they signify, what does it mean to be a ve\/ver\/vis? No one can really explain that.\u201d Walsh said.<\/p>\n<p>Walsh structured the bulk of his lecture around four common rebuttals to his perspective fielded by advocates of gender theory.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0<strong>Sex and Gender are not the same<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walsh holds that the conceptual difference between the two categories has been deliberately obfuscated by such phrases as \u201ctrans women are women,\u201d and that gender was first extracted from sex and then elevated above it in a rhetorical sleight of hand, and that \u201cgender\u201d was, in his mind, a useless concept outside of the study of language and the \u201cgender\u201d of certain words. Walsh also argued that the natural variation in human behavior in personality and self perception is better encapsulated by personality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. You say that \u201cwomen\u201d can get pregnant; what about women who can\u2019t get pregnant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walsh noted that while some biological females, due to age or illness, cannot become pregnant, \u201cwomen\u201d are still \u201cof the nature to get pregnant,\u201d in the same way that it is \u201cin the nature\u201d of human beings to walk on two legs. Counterexamples also exist as the result of age or infirmity, but \u201cdoes the existence of amputees and infants call into question the notion that human beings have two legs?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The gender binary is a western construct and other cultures have more diverse beliefs about gender<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walsh spoke about his own experience outside the western bubble during his visit with the Maasai people in Kenya, noting that the idea of men getting pregnant was utterly foreign to them. Walsh also argued that while some cultures do have situations where a member of one sex \u201cacts out\u201d the role of the other sex in various ways, no other society<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daily Wire Host and best selling author Matt Walsh addressed a crowd of about 400 people at the University of California, Berkeley after airing his acclaimed documentary\u00a0\u201cWhat is a Woman?\u201d UC Berkeley is well known for the left-wing tilt of its campus culture and its history as the birthplace of the free speech movement \u2014 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":856,"featured_media":1743189,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1743186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1743186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/856"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1743186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1743186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1743189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1743186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1743186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1743186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
