Ithink the best way to summarize Matt Walsh’s “What Is A Woman” documentary would probably be to describe it as being a documentary following real-life 4chan troll Matt Walsh repeatedly harass many people who are more intelligent, credentialed, and accomplished than himself, with the production quality of anything that’s been put out by the Jehovah’s Witnesses within the past five years. It would be an insult to honest documentarians everywhere to call his piece a documentary, as it stands out even from the atrocious excuses for documentaries (that are actual shock films) we’ve seen produced since the late 2000s. As far as why I am reviewing this piece, I was unfortunately depicted in it. Mr. Walsh used deceptive tactics including but not limited to: a producer using a fake name, misrepresenting the purpose and scope of his project, omitting the fact of his own involvement in the project, ambush interviewing, and deceptive editing in order to produce this piece. Therefore, I feel it is my obligation as somebody who was manipulated and used by him to make his transphobic point, to expose his piece for what it is, a sham.
