We haven’t talked about it much here, but The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh has a fantastic new documentary out called, “What Is a Woman.” Walsh crosses the globe to get a definitive answer. Rolling Stone has a hit piece out on the documentary Saturday:
The Daily Wire has bought ads on major social media platforms to promote their right-wing transphobic doc — even though it seems to violate TikTok and Meta’s policies against hate speech. https://t.co/y1yrVyqQfV

“Seems to?” How so? Moises Mendez II writes:
For years, right-wing commentator, Daily Wire host, and all-around shitty provocateur Matt Walsh has used his platform to go after trans people. So it’s not surprising that this essentialist ideology has become the centerpiece of his new documentary, What Is a Woman? The film, which premiered on the Daily Wire’s website earlier this month, faced controversy leading up to its release. Now, the Daily Wire has bought ads on major social media platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, to promote the film — and so far, even though the documentary seems to violate TikTok and Meta’s policies against hate speech. Though the platforms prohibit dehumanizing, mocking, and/or hateful speech about transgender people, the ads have been allowed to stay.
So how was the movie?
Today @RollingStone ran a hit piece about What Is A Woman, calling it transphobic propaganda. The funny thing is that we sent screeners to the writer of the piece, @MoisesFenty, and we can see that he watched zero percent of the film before arriving at this conclusion. pic.twitter.com/3Sh9dePPUz

The editor of the piece, @elisabethgp, did a little better by watching a whole entire 11 percent before approving and publishing an article labeling the film “hateful” and “dehumanizing.” pic.twitter.com/cGqyvc38ke

I’d like Rolling Stone to explain how they arrived at these damning conclusions despite not watching the movie. Do they make a habit of reviewing movies without watching them? How many other reviews were written this way? Or is mine the first? If so, why?

In fairness, Emily is swamped with all the news so she’s not able to inform herself about a subject before publishing an article about it https://t.co/g7fQcLSzO2

He watched zero percent of the movie.

It does not please them to have their narrative questioned with logic, reason or facts. Besides, if they watch the film, they lose the chance to medal in the jumping competition of the Conclusion Olympics

I honestly didn't see any "transphobia" in the film. No transpersons were harmed in the making, right? The non-transpeople seemed to get upset sometimes but that's about it.
Maybe they were afraid of what that African tribe had to say?

But if he actually watched it, then he’d have to respond to the points made rather than just shouting it down as transphobia and possibly admit some of the things said were, *gasp,* accurate!

This is false. @RollingStone journalists viewed the film together as mentioned in the article.

They seem more concerned that Facebook and TikTok are allowing ads promoting the movie. Take it up with them.

When will “trans” people objectively prove that their subjective feelings about being a different gender are true?
It was pretty impressive how calm and reasoned Walsh was able to be with the liberals when they would try to explain “what a woman is”.
It’s pretty clear in the first chapter of Genesis.
You are 100% correct with that assessment. I’ve watched numerous videos from him on YT as well as his “What is a Woman?” and it all comes back to a definition of an adult female.
It all starts with Cogito Ergo Sum. From there one can see we occupy space, “are” anthropomorphic, have varying shapes and sizes, etc.
From there per Cogito Ergo Sum we can see objective differences between ourselves and others beyond what I listed above.
Males are not females and females are not males. XX isnt XY. Males have different bone densities, muscle mass ratios than women, different arterial systems, blood flow rates, don’t have wombs, and on and on and on. A boatload of differences.
Trans advocates think that a extremely small numbers of exceptions to the rule, such as variations of XX and XY or not having a uterus means that distinctions can just be done away with and everything then is subjectively in the eye of the beholder.
You know, M@tt “Wolfman” W@alsh is a great guy and I hope Squealin’ Elon hires him and he starts pulling in 20M a year and becomes a famous H0llywood producer. Good luck Wolfman. I mean, M@tt. (Not being sarcastic.)
Watch the film?! C’mon man! Journalists can’t be expected to do anything like... research or backgrounding. No, just spout the Dem / lib / leftist line and talking points.
Rolling Stone is a complete cr@pfest.
