It's an interesting exercise, because it renders most sentences containing 'equal' (or equality) as very obviously false.
Having rejected 'the same'/ identical as valid synonyms, the next step in the exercise is to find another synonym which makes sense in the context.
This can be difficult...
Therefore, equal/ity is revealed as a fake concept, an obfuscator of thought.

e.g. "Liberty! Sameness! Fraternity!" - ahem...
e.g. "Equal opportunities" goes to Identical opportunities; "Equality of outcomes for men and women" goes to the same outcomes for men and women.
(But how can we make things identical or the same? Only one way: By making them identical or the same - by coercively imposing identicality and sameness.)
e.g. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created identical..." um, not really, so how about: "all men are created the same"... Nah. OK then: "all men are created with... indistinguishably-similar... wotsits..." - Oh, I give up.
