reductio ad hijab

A logical fallacy (part of ad hominem), when someone dismisses speaker's opinion and attacks speaker's personality just because she's wearing hijab/jilbab/niqab

Sometimes, this fallacy can go hand-in-hand with another fallacy like reductio ad hitlerum/Godwin's law (by accusing Islam religion or Middle East culture as racist, fascist, and such)
Example of reductio ad hijab:

You're wearing jilbab, therefore your opinion is discarded, and did I mention that your religion is a fascistic religion and spread through wars and conquests?

Redundant

A 6'6" person saying they were something other than tall as a kid is like a black guy saying he was white until he turned 18. What else could you have been even if you tried?
People would know a 6'6" person was always tall for their age as a kid without them having to explain it, the same way they would know a 4'10" person was always short for their age, even as a kid (unless they are one of those rare Guinness record books folks), so explaining it would be redundant.
