Yeah, the percentage of the population that’s trans is about 1%. The percentage of trans men that oppose reasonable abortion access is surely vanishingly small (because of largely overlapping bodily autonomy rights concerns).
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.
And to be pedantic, some men have uteri.
The percentage of trans men opposed to abortion is, if not precisely zero, a minuscule rounding error from it.

While this is true, it seems to me like a bad idea to bring this up in a political conversation with an anti-choice voter…
Depends on your goal. If you genuinely think you can change their mind then… Maybe. Otherwise, why not stick up for trans & intersex folks?
