She knows there’s nothing she can do to change the terf’s mind, but she may be able to guide others away from that mindset. Better to focus on the latter than try to engage with the former.
I wouldn’t say her comments were ‘agree to disagree’ as that would imply that she’s dropping the argument. It’s mature to recognise that you can oppose someone’s views and actions without hating them.
