Yeah, that's where I couldn't square it in my head.
If course the two groups are different.
But the ask is similar: one group has to give something up so the other group can have something.
That's what I couldn't square off in my head.

Yeah I totally agree but it's a counterpoint that came into my head. So I had to ask.
Interesting.
So you're sort of saying (that people who believe this are saying), women are oppressed so to make up for that or fight it, they have been afforded certain things, like women only spaces or quotas, which sort of gives them help at a cost to their oppressors (men).
But this thinking also means that trans women are more oppressed than woman, so they deserve to get help, even at the expense of women, because while women are oppressed, they're not as oppressed as trans women?
So there's a hierarchy of oppression and it's OK to encroach on the rights of those above you in the hericachy, even if that group is being oppressed by the groups above them?
I'm not saying this is what you believe but what you said in your reply, dumbed down so I can understand it!
To make it more confusing, trans women also have all the rights of men, so not only are they higher up the heirachy than women, but they also want some of the spaces / benefit woman have?
Has anyone plotted out this heirachy?
