The following will not be a fully comprehensive list.
Women's issues that affect trans men, nonbinary people, and some intersex people who were assigned female or have the reproductive capabilities of someone assigned female:
Access to testosterone, estrogen, progesterone (latter two are often used in contraceptives)
Ability to willingly get sterilization surgeries done (tying tubes, hysterectomy, etc.)
Ability to choose our doctors for exams
Right to no fault divorce
Right to work and being paid for that work
Right to consent and privacy with our own bodies, both in and out of medical situations (which includes not performing surgery on infants who are intersex)
Right to use the toilet in public, regardless of appearance
Now, some of these will affect trans women, cis men, or intersex and nonbinary people who may not have been assigned female or simply do not have the reproductive parts that many of the affect the points above. However, these are things that were not even options for many of us, and are frequently under threat of being taken away.
Our right to choose things for our own bodies hinges on the fact that we are seen as defective women, and the moment cis women lose rights to these things, we do too. Trans women will not lose their rights the same way the rest of the trans community will.
So perhaps instead of complaining that trans men have no right to talk on womens issues, everyone should be standing up together in the fight for equal rights. Until then, until we are actually a community, y'all can F off with your bullshit about trans men not having a say in womens rights.
