The rights of women to enjoy female-only spaces, for their safety and dignity, is being invalidated in the name of so-called "trans rights", whereby a subset of males who demand access to such spaces, entirely disregarding women's boundaries, are being granted access.
This isn't equality, this is male dominance over women.
And yet again, same as it always is, this is oppression of women to meet the demands and desires of males.

That aside, I was more referring to people's ability to just... live their life. Whether being murdered like Brianna Ghey a few days ago, or "just" being unable to access relevant medical care, there's lots of issues with things that cis people can just take for granted.
