Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

What is a woman?

It's the question Matt Walsh made famous a year ago when he released his documentary on transgenderism and it's a question

defenders of transgender identity still struggle to answer.

This episode we'll be taking a look at Stephen Woodford, aka rationality rules, as arguments related to the issue and see if they

hold up as a valid criticism of Walsh's answer to the question, What is the woman?

But before we do that, I have my own question for you.

What is a subscriber?

You can't just identify as a subscriber of the Council of Trent Podcast

because that's totally subjective.

Anybody could do that.

You need an objective metric like hitting the subscribe button.

And if you want to really get some objective evidence

that you're a supporter of this podcast

consider supporting us at Trenthorn podcast.com so we can keep making all kinds of

great content. All right so Woodford has his own nuanced opinion on transgender issues. I don't want to lump him into the mold of the transgender advocate.

For example, he's gotten flack from other atheists and other secularists who have accused him of transphobia. The

atheist community of Austin did this because Woodford criticized males

competing in women's sports. In this video Woodford doesn't try to offer a comprehensive alternative definition of

woman, as much as he tries to show that Walsh's definition of a woman being an adult human female, that doesn't work either.

Woodford also says, well, there is no such thing as a correct definition because definitions

can only be judged on their utility, how well they work.
