Honestly, dismissing Brianna because of identity is just the flip side of what the left wants - accepting people because of their identity. Let's not do that and be part of that ridiculous cult of intersectionality even as a rebuttal. Let's listen to people for their ideas.

You can respond to what is actually said rather than dismissing a viewpoint as invalid because they are trans.
If you disagree, disagree on the merits. Don't end up at the same kind of idiotic standoff we're at with everything else.
If trans truly is the bankrupt and insidious ideology that many of us have come to fear, we should be able to argue against it on firmer grounds than 'trans = mentally ill."
