The two-leg analogy that changed the entire debate. During a campus speaking engagement hosted by Young America's Foundation (YAF), conservative commentator Matt Walsh addresses an audience member inquiring about the biological definition of a woman. The questioner challenges the traditional reproductive definition of sex by noting that many women are biologically incapable of becoming pregnant. The premise behind the question suggests that if infertility exists within the female population, the capacity for pregnancy cannot serve as the defining characteristic of womanhood. Walsh responds by introducing a teleological argument that differentiates normative biological structure from accidental or developmental exceptions. To illustrate this principle, he points to human anatomy, asserting that human beings are fundamentally defined as two-legged creatures. He reasons that if an individual is born with one leg—or loses a limb due to illness, warfare, or an accident-it does not alter the fundamental definition of the human species, nor does it imply that human leg counts exist on an arbitrary spectrum. Instead, a missing limb is recognized as a deviation or medical irregularity precisely because the baseline design of the human body expects two legs. Applying this logic directly to sex and reproduction, Walsh explains that a woman's biological system is naturally structured toward gestation. If a woman of childbearing age is unable to conceive, the medical establishment runs diagnostic tests and seeks treatments because a functional expectation exists. Conversely, no medical practitioner would test a biological male for pregnancy complications, because male biology inherently lacks that structural purpose. Walsh argues that the diagnosis of infertility itself relies entirely on the prior reality of the female biological norm. Consequently, he contends that physiological exceptions do not dissolve biological categories, but rather serve as the exception that demonstrates and confirms the rule. #mattwalsh #debate #philosophy #logic #biology - @usatriumph
