Why is a person's "label" sometimes deemed as a valid dismissal to any argument?

I’ve noticed this sometimes from some feminists, minorities and other groups. When a discussion about a particular group’s rights is being addressed, especially with opposing or even controversial viewpoints, there have been occasions when those alternative viewpoints have been instantly dismissed on the bases of label or creed.
The argument usually goes on the lines of:
“You are not qualified to have “any” argument here. You don’t know what you are talking about because you are a [insert label]!”
To me this sounds like blatant censorship and quite biased.
What are your thoughts on this?
