she says that trans advocacy will threaten her work with MS patients, for example, and I don't know what you can even say about that.

She seems to think that, as MS typically manifests differently in men and women, and its course in women is understudied, research into how to help women with MS will be destroyed if we accept trans women as women, because scientists will have no way to differentiate between men and women, or between cis women and trans women. Which is absurd.

I get that the treatment of women with MS is a really important one to her, but if she's presenting that argument in good faith, then she's being completely irrational, and I don't know whether it's because she finds the whole concept of transgender, or of people transitioning, terrifying, or what, but an awful lot of this doesn't seem to have much to do with reality.
