Look, even if a person is straight, cisgender and cissexual (is that really a word, or do I just keep insisting that it is?), trans has important things to say about your feminism. Because it strongly asks questions about essentialism and what gender is for and how specific things about gender are and aren't associated with physical bodies and how our choice about sex/gender expression interacts with how we're raised and it is important. It's this fabulous testing ground for any feminist theory ever. So, yes, ignoring it is bloody silly.
