I know surveys suggest cis women are more likely to consider a relationship with a trans woman but I feel like cis men are more likely to treat trans women like women

It depends on the person’s sexual orientation I guess. If a strictly lesbian woman is dating a trans woman then I think it’s safe to say that she does see her as a woman

its more socially expensive for a cis woman to treat trans women as women than for a cis man to treat trans women as women bc of the lower status cis women have under patriarchy in relation to cis men

Ok let me see if I’m understanding:

Axiom 1: women are the class that is acceptable to put-down and exploit under patriarchy

Axiom 2: treating someone as “the woman” in a relationship (i.e. putting the feminized labors in their care without compensation) uplifts the one acting as “the man”

How would it ever be more advantageous for a woman to enter a relationship where she’s the exploited partner, than it would be for her to enter a relationship where she can exploit her partner by putting the feminized duties on her instead
