If you don't think that feminist issues apply to trans women, you clearly don't recognise trans women as "real women" and are therefore a transphobe
This is where the “RF” bit of “TERF” came from, before it became a generic term for transphobes and instead referred to a subset of the radfem mvmt.
The argument I think was ultimately telling trans women to check their privilege from the period pre-transition where patriarchal society coded / viewed them as a “man”. When you write it out like that it sounds bonkers.

Basically this. If you don't think that feminist issues apply to trans women, you clearly don't recognise trans women as "real women" and are therefore a transphobe.
