What might a mildly transphobic but open minded person see? They'll see a top level post, some replies, and maybe one or at most two replies to those replies. They're not going to read an argument ten or twenty replies deep.

I'll say something like this: "You know, biological sex is really a bimodal distribution, so it makes sense to me that internal feelings about gender wouldn't be binary either" And I'll link to a solid popular science article how bio sex is a bimodal distribution.
The transphobe replies meanly again, so then I'll say something like "I'm sorry, I can't keep talking to someone engaging in personal attacks." The audience sees me being calm and informed in the face of rudeness, and can click a link that challenges assumptions about bio sex.

I like how the response from you would be a very gentle challenging. Which hopefully means the audience won't feel too threatened/defensive to take it in.
