One does not have to experience a transgression against another individual to realize that such an act is a violation of their individual rights.
Fair enough! I did admit you could call it a strawman if you liked. I shall throw one other example out; feel free to argue with it as well.
I don't have any tattoos, though my of my friends including my girlfriend do. I don't need one to know I don't want one. I have seen many people regret the permanent marks they have made on their bodies, and I don't pretend to think any of the things I hold important today will still matter to me in ten years, when I will likely have children and a mortgage.
