Logically his point meant that people who menstrate are also women, not that people that don’t have menstruation are not women.
I am confused how you got that take of a negative inference.
If you say “why did you say woman twice” in response to “woman and people who menstruate” you’re saying that being a woman means you menstruate AND vice versa. That’s implying a strict equality between women and those who menstruate, saying that you can’t have either without the other.
“Logically” he’s saying
woman ≡ menstruating person
, while you’re confusing his comment forwoman ⊇ menstruating person
. In reality their conditions have no bearing on each other, so neither is right anyways.
