''A woman, for me, is someone who feels that they are a woman.''

Then somebody asks Sally if she feels like a woman. To which Sally replies

''Well I don’t feel strongly that I’m not so yes.''

And then Vulvamort wins the internet with this.

''So, to recap:
You don't feel like the thing.

But you don't feel strongly that you're not the thing that is a thing because it feels like a thing.

So you've concluded you ARE the thing.

Having earlier said: the thing is anyone that feels they ARE the thing.
Which you don't.''

Person A: "I'm a zigbot."

Person B: "What's a zigbot?"

Person A: "A zigbot is anyone who feels like a zigbot"

Person B: "I don't understand. Can you explain further?"

Person A: "how dare you deny I exist?"

“No, a woman is someone who feels that they're a woman unless they don't feel like they're not a woman even if they don't feel like they're a woman, in that case they are a woman unless they're not a woman. Clear?“

Clear?? I feel right now like this is a riddle but I don’t feel like this is a riddle, so does that make me a riddle?

Me:Tries to identify with 'the thing' whilst not being quite like 'the thing' '

Me: Gets back up from puddle of confused 'thingness' to work out what the 'thing' is

Me: Disappears down plughole of identity politics.

Meanwhile 50-ish man - 'hey, I'm a woman!'.

Woke people - yay, get you. You're a woman. And you're also a 'transwoman'. So therefore most oppressed woman of all time. We need to centre your voice in everything 'woman'.

Me: Sitting in puddle. WTF?

So a woman is defined as someone who doesn't feel strongly that they are not a woman?? Hmm....
