Technique of philosophical
discourse wherein the most obvious and simple explanation must be pointedly ignored to allow discussion of weak and immediately
falsifiable alternatives. Used primarily to draw out a discussion with minimal danger of actually reaching a
resolution.
"Maybe I'm
overthinking this. Maybe I'm not transgendered. Maybe it's just
internalized misogyny. Maybe I'm really a
self-hating lesbian."
"Yeah, that you've been miserable all your life unless when identifying as male isn't worth considering. Dude, you're totally using Occam's Toilet Brush."
