TBH I don't think her being female would be relevant. It would just be another case of someone misunderstanding what feminism actually is.
To draw an analogy:
A self-hating closet homosexual who is also highly homophobic is no more or less homophobic than a heterosexual homophobe. Homophobia is despicable regardless of whether the person who is homophobic is homosexual themselves or not. Just as a self-hating woman who also hates all other women and is misogynistic is just as despicable as a man who hates women and is misogynistic, in and of itself. In both cases it's still misogyny.
