MODERATORS
Depends on your goal. If you genuinely think you can change their mind then... Maybe. Otherwise, why not stick up for trans & intersex folks?
I think the best thing for trans/nonbinary/intersex/etc. people, and also for changing the minds of anti-abortion people, is to discuss abortion without implicating gender stuff at all. It doesn't really do much to stick up for them, and it's likely to reduce support and increase hate for them and their issues, while decreasing the chance that the anti-choice voter listens to you.
Drag is trans and thinks there's never a time inappropriate to discuss trans issues. The statement "men can't get pregnant" is implicit transphobia. It's a microaggression and it shouldn't be ignored.
Your dogma prevents you from making effective progress, unfortunately.
