Be fair to all involved, dear YYS. The one who wanted to catch her the most at something was me, and that was mostly for the article. Considering she can't go 24 hours without saying something stupid that I can then respond to with one of Wu's own quotes, I think some levity is in order.
Here, let me give an example, since Brianna Wu was nice enough to oblige (as she so often does).

This is a very interesting statement of Brianna's. Would you like to know why?
Because Brianna Wu is big - and I mean
really big - on keeping males out of Feminism. Does this remind you of anything?
It should. This isn't a new thing for her, but the TL;DR is that Wu's had an ongoing campaign of saying that Gay men were no friends of the Trans community - a statement not unlike those made by Tumblr Trans Activists. But you needn't take my word for it - let's
take Wu at her own words. Bolds for emphasis, as ever:
That isn't Sophie Labelle speaking, that is Brianna Wu. For the uninitiated, modern trans activists in the SJW community fucking
despise gay men. It doesn't make much sense to anyone with logic or reason, but bear in mind we're dealing with a woman who just said that gays see her as "competition for the penis." This is similar to other SJWs who have claimed that Gay Porn is inherently misogynistic:
This is insane.
Now, Wu's not quite this level of crazy, but she
still strongly believes that gay men are no allies of the Trans community:

Want some more? Sure:
I'm not going to link to the statistics on this one, because by this point, you should know that I won't cite something without being able to back it up, but men are more raped than women, the gender pay gap is
provably a myth, and men are more subject to violence than women are. These are quantifiable facts provable with CDC statistics. It also shows an interesting contrast in that Wu herself sees men as a threat still (whilst being a former male herself).
Wu doesn't have a history of being say, rabidly anti-gay, but she does see them as competition and most-assuredly isn't a fan of them. So once again, another transparency with
someone we know quite well. We certainly know of
her massive ego, and we know well that
she was fine with not telling would-be romantic interests that she was trans (something that every trans advocacy group suggests one does to avoid
the trans panic defense). What we're dealing with here is someone whose personal crises trump basic empathy for their fellow human beings, and is nicely bookended by
Brianna Wu's litany of disingenous behavior. It's very likely, given this, that Wu falls into the Sophie Labelle camp of being willing to throw the first three letters of LGB under the bus for the sake of the T, regardless of what lip-service she pays to the greater whole.
