Both Z. Budapest and this controversy have been around for a really long time. The first time I was at a gathering where a "women's mysteries" event was conspicuously posted as "for women born women only" was in the late 80s, and it created a bit of an uproar. There was at least one fairly high-profile transwoman Pagan leader (and UU minister) in attendance. The event organizers refused to back down.
Since Z. Budapest survived the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 and has been making national news for her radical points of view since the 1970s, I seriously doubt that she's going to listen to any arguments, logical or emotional.
OTOH, precisely because she is so radical, she doesn't really have a lot of influence generally speaking. She tends to "preach to the choir" of those who already agree with her, anyway.
