You might point out that all privilege exists only because other people give it. If they decide to withhold it, then it vanishes. Frex, skin privilege is not indelible like people say it is. All you have to do is support people of color and it switches from "white" to "n*gg*r-lover." Similarly, it doesn't matter how cishet you are if some bigot thinks that you look like a gay, trans, or other target of choice. Facts will not protect you from a nutjob.
