Why some feminist are so rude to those who want to transition?

I'm confused -- I never said the only thing that makes someone a woman is her menstruation.

Just like if I said we need ramps for disabled people. I don't think the only defining aspect of that person is their disability, but I will fight for their rights to have their disability accommodated. So for women, I don't think our reproductive system defines who we are, but I do think we need to fight for certain rights that are exclusive to people with female reproductive systems. I always thought this fight to be part of my feminism.

Would you say abortion, female genital mutilation, and menstruation shame are issues that are men's and women's issues?

What issues are exclusive to women?
