What Is a Woman? is a 2022 American online film about gender and transgender issues presented by conservative political commentator Matt Walsh. The film was released by conservative website The Daily Wire, with direction by Justin Folk.[1][2] In the film, Walsh asks various people "What is a woman?".[3] Walsh said he made the film in opposition to "gender ideology".[2][3] It is described in some sources as anti-trans[4][5][3][6][7] or transphobic.[8][9] The film was released to subscribers of The Daily Wire on June 1, 2022, coinciding with the start of Pride Month.[2]

The film received mixed reviews. Walsh's approach garnered praise from conservative commentators, while drawing criticism from other sources, including advocates of transgender healthcare.[3][9] According to transgender activists and others who starred in the film, Walsh had invited individuals to participate in the film under false pretenses.[10][11][12] Walsh's tour to showcase the film at college campuses sparked protests.[13][14] In June 2023, during the subsequent Pride Month, the film gained further attention when Elon Musk promoted it on Twitter.[5]
