They used to say "a woman is someone who identifies as a woman" and eventually they must have forgotten the academic lingo. It never made sense and it was a tautological argument but they just all stuck to it for a long time.

I liked that argument. I'd just say, cool I'm a woman now. #believeallwomen.

Postulate 1. "Believe all women." Women don't lie and everything they say is always true.

Postulate 2. "Anyone who identifies as a woman is a woman".

I am a woman because I identify as a woman, that means everything I say must be believed as true. I say everything you say is wrong. And you must believe me if you accept the two postulates as true (which of course they must be since I said I was a woman, and everything a woman says is true).

By this point most people would accuse me of either not being a woman (on account of my penis, can you believe how bigoted they are) or would get angry and argue I was stupid (but I'm not stupid, since I just said I wasn't) or I was trolling but that can't be true since I said I wasn't trolling, or they would just walk away and refuse to talk to me, which is clearly anti-woman discrimination, again because I said so, and I must be believed.

I say everything you say is wrong.

Uh oh, logical contradiction. You are refuting 1 and 2 because they originated from your opponent.

I say they originated from me. And I say i am owed royalties on them.
