No true scottsman implies that trannies are real women btw

the second speaker in your example isn't using a no true scotsman fallacy. so by misrepresenting when people would actually call something a no true scotsman you're using a strawman argument

That's quite litterally how no true scottsman works though

No true scotsman would be more like this using your example:
>all sharks are pedophiles
<but I know Henry who is a shark, and he isn't a pedophile
>Henry isn't actually a shark. all REAL sharks are pedophiles

I commonly see it being used like in the OP though
