So you must have a uterus to participate in discussions on "women's issues", but don't need one to participate in women's sports?!

@SW-User And honestly, anyone that identifies as a woman and is treated by society as such, has more room to speak on it. I’d be surprised if a transgender individual even wanted to speak (except as support) on reproductive issues as they are not impacted by them. If they did, it would also be wrong.

@DarkHeaven i can get behind all of that. freedom of speech and all that. even menopausal women have a voice in reproductive rights. we need to keep the decisions limited to women of reproductive years, as far as the laws surrounding pregnancy, birth control, and abortion, though. it’s their bodies.

@SW-User so youre basically saying that the only people who can form an opinion or legislate on a topic are those who are intragally involved in the situation.
Non-gun owners have no say in "gun control" debate...
Non-citizens have no say in our elections, politics, or government...
Non-military have no input on war-related discussions...
On insurance experts get a say in health insurance discussions...
Only physicians have any input on healthcare...

I mean, that kinda removes most people from most political discussions, doesn't it?!

@easterniowegin if you were born with a gun in your hand, you get to keep it.

@easterniowegin I’m not saying that at all. They just can’t speak for a group they are not part of. As far as laws, that’s different. Many people are impacted on many issues but you were incredibly vague & didn’t mention legislation at all in the question. I know the sub topic was politics but you didn’t say involved in the legislative process, merely that men were not allowed to talk about women’s issues and I was pretty clear.
