The original halachic objection for women reading is the BEHAG
Tosafos assumes this psaq matches tosefta.

IIRC the Korban Nesan'el says that women reading for women is a K'vod
Zibbur issue not a qol isha issue.

I don't know when and how the issue morphed from K'vod Zibbur to
Kol. Isha. Qol Isha is a highly problematic concept to tie back to shas.
While K'vod Tzibbur is easy to demonstrate from Shas.

Illustration: A man may let his wife "bensch" for him halachically but
tavo alav Me'eira. This is commonly understood to mean that he should
be cursed for such a poor education that he needs his wife to enable him.

So the argument goes that any zibbur NEEDING a woman should be ashamed
of itself that it needs to resort to a woman.

Qol isha is not a factor

AISI if there is such a thing as minhag ta'us then I would posit svara
ta'us. Or iow there is a valid svara to not let women to lain for men
but qol isha is aisi a red herring

Good Shabbos
