"The trans “debate” – a term I use loosely, as I don’t believe trans
people’s rights should be up for debate – has focused largely on the
voices of those decrying the right of trans women to be considered at
all. As a cisgender woman, I am unequivocally supportive of the view
that empowering trans women in no way disenfranchises or endangers cis
women, and that in fact we are stronger united. The enemy is misogyny;
our trans sisters are our allies in this fight, and history bears out
their role in both this and in the equally important fight for LGBT+
liberation."

It’s also very much worth reading the referenced article:
