The Permission string setting in the SPSecurityTrimmedControl in the Master page the site is using needs to be set to ViewPages for users with Contribute rights to see the My Site Link. Otherwise if it is set to for example to BrowseDirectories only people with Full Contol will see the link like site Admins.
<spsecuritytrimmedcontrol permissionsstring="BrowseDirectories" runat="server"></spsecuritytrimmedcontrol>
<spsecuritytrimmedcontrol permissionsstring="viewpages" runat="server"></spsecuritytrimmedcontrol>
Note: Just adding this control to the Master page confers the rights across all controls on the Master page as far as I can tell. If you place a control inside the SPSecurityTrimmedControl it controls the visibility of the control based on the users rights. In my experience with SharePoint so far although I have not experimented with this I believe it will also effect what the control renders or displays based on the user rights. For example if it is a drop down menu it may display some items on the menu and not others.
