Why "adult female human" isn't circular

Exulansic teaches the concept of a circle to a Tiktocking professor attempting to humiliate Matt Walsh

This meanwhile is how “woman” is defined according to the Butlerian performativists.

This is a circular definition of woman:


This is the representation of the circular, performative, and defined-categorical ways of defining women. The one to one definition is circular and makes the words synonyms. Defining a woman as a woman would therefore be circular. That’s what it means to have the same definition - the same border or boundary to the category within the broader conceptual space. Defining a woman as a human female is not circular - because look, there’s a branch human-female, therefore you know which end is up and do not get lost in an endless circularity - but there is no such thing as an ageless human female, so it’s a semantic compound category with no specific verbal label because it is an empty set. Defining a woman as an adult human female is the most spherical cow definition of woman you can get while still being meaningful and including all the women.
