No, his shirt needed no improvement.
Abortion Access Front explained:
No matter who you are, if you have a uterus, abortion is only and always YOUR choice. We are sure @DaveBautista will approve of our fix to his shirt! #AbortionAF
No matter who you are, if you have a uterus, you are a woman or girl. It’s women who get pregnant, not people in general. Women are subordinated and dominated and denied basic rights for exactly that reason, so no, it’s not a generic “you” who needs abortion rights, it’s women.

How do they know he would approve of their fix? Do they know whether he identifies as a person who likes his shirts fixed? Or does he identify as a person who thinks women are women?
I’m pretty sure I’ll never be in a position to choose an abortion. Although it’s still (barely) conceivable that my actions could result in a woman choosing one.
But that would be her choice.

You haven’t thought it through. For example, suppose I were to manage to get a woman who is not my wife pregnant and she went into a coma or something and there were complications with the pregnancy and she had no family and she had inexplicably listed me as her next of kin, then conceivably any abortion might possibly be my choice.
Therefore the t shirt is correct.
You’re right, latsot. I’m not a sophistimacated thinker, just a Maroon.
Yeah, not cool to do a ACLU[Ginsberg] on the shirt. At least it’s a really shitty photoshop job, with a flat panel of text that does not conform to the underlying shape of his body, so you can clearly see it’s been messed with.
The glib “we are sure would approve…” strikes me very much like the declarations that various people of the past were “trans”. Let’s just assume, without evidence, that these people would be totally on board with this ideology. How about no? He bought the shirt, he chose to wear it, other people on his Twitter thread are asking where they can buy that shirt, and nobody is suggesting this alternative shirt at all, let alone that it might be better.
His body, his choice.
Or is it presumptuous of me to assume his pronouns?
He might approve, but he oughtn’t.
We are sure @MLKing will approve of our fix to his speech!

We are sure @AEinstein will approve of our fix to his equation!
Hmph! I always thought it should be E = mac².
YIKES! You’ve just singlehandedly increased the destructive power of every nuclear weapon on the planet!
If that’s not literal violence, I don’t know what is.
I went to the “Bans off Our Bodies March” in Minneapolis on Saturday. It was a good turnout in bad weather, actually.
But, as expected, one of the speakers represented some Queer society. Not as in gay or lesbian, of course. A trans man. “I am a man, and I HAVE A UTERUS!” The crowd roared its approval and she, a Karaoke Champion, sang some boring music.
I had been getting ready to leave, anyway. So, I did.
I am a human, AND I HAVE ANTLERS.
Oh, Deer.
