Activists who discussed gender pronouns and the definition of womanhood with The Daily Wire host and author Matt Walsh on an episode of “Dr. Phil” have taken to Instagram for a little spin.
Just before the episode aired, “nonbinary” activist Addison posted a lengthy Instagram story accusing the “Dr. Phil” team of tricking Addison and fellow “nonbinary” activist Ethan to do the show under false pretenses.
The post also claims Walsh’s pushback, which included asking Addison and Ethan to define the word woman, gave them “nightmares” and triggered anxiety.
“About a month ago, Ethan and I were invited to be guests on the ‘Dr. Phil’ show to share our stories and discuss pronouns,” started the Instagram story from Addison, under the username “break the binary.” “We were excited for the opportunity to educate in a safe space. What ended up happening was much different than they discussed with us. And we left feeling attacked by another guest and played by the producers.”
“Since the taping, Ethan and I have been experiencing a heightened level of anxiety to the point that we’ve had numerous nightmares and depression spirals over the last month,” the story continued, adding that “this week has been the worse [sic].”
“Please send us both good vibes today. We could really use it,” Addison closed. “We tried our best with no preparation for what the ‘Dr. Phil’ show actually had planned behind our backs. And we hope our visibility inspires viewers.”
Walsh responded to the accusations via Twitter. “The other guests on the ‘Dr. Phil’ panel are complaining that I gave them nightmares,” the author posted, captioning screenshots of Addison’s story. “I attacked them by asking them to define the words they were using.”
Captioning a screenshot of Addison’s request for “good vibes,” Walsh mocked, “Please send good vibes, folks. This is a tough time.”

“Contrary to my fellow panelists, I felt great after the taping and feel even better now,” Walsh added. “That’s because I’m 100 percent confident in my view on the topic and everything they said was blatant nonsense which did not for even a second cause me to second guess my own perspective.”

As highlighted by The Daily Wire, Walsh stumped the two gender activists, who were unable to define the term woman, though they declared, “transgender women are women.”
In another segment, Walsh quieted the left-wing audience after he was mocked for apparently caring “so much” about the Left’s radical gender agenda.
“Part of me wants to ask why you care so much, because it’s really not that big of a deal,” a guest mocked Walsh.
“I’d love to answer that question,” the author interjected.
“I care about the truth,” Walsh said. “So, basic truth matters. I wanna live in a society where people care about the truth and we’re grounded in truth. … I care about children, and these insane ideas about gender are being [foisted] on kids, and that bothers me quite a bit. I care about the women who are having their opportunities stolen from them.”
“I care quite a bit, yeah,” he added.
