Assuming they’re cis and identify as their birth assigned gender… yes. If they’re trans*, no.
If I seem scared of you or cisphobic, it’s because all of the abuse I receive comes from cis people. You might be awesome, but you still need to prove that you’re not going to hurt me before I’ll open up to you. You can’t just say you’re trans friendly.
Oppression doesn’t require intent to thrive. In fact, the way oppression thrives best is by allowing people to marginalize people without intent, as that shows that the ideologies of gender essentialism and cissexism are so ingrained in you that you don’t even notice it.

People other than women are being hurt by the anti-abortion rhetoric that seeks to colonize the bodies of those who are capable of being pregnant. We have just as much of a stake as you do in this, and it hurts that I can’t even get behind it without getting beat over the head with cissexism.
