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
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

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”
