There are great feminist quotes I read that talk about the erasure of butch females:
“More and more, queer-trans activists are proclaiming that female-at-birth people either perform femininity or are trans.
If we refuse to conform to being trans, then they dictate that we must be performing femininity, and they use this to insult us or to falsely claim that we have privilege so that they can get the centre of attention and we can’t speak.
This makes it very hard to reject being trans; it is very coercive politics.”

“If gender performativity creates “man” and “woman,” then it can also taketh away. So what does this mean about butch women? What does it mean about non-feminine or even anti-feminine women? Apparently, they are “men,” despite physical facts to the contrary. This implicitly denies both the possibility and current reality of non-feminine women and explicitly erases their experience.”

“The MAAB [male-assigned-at-birth] insistence on defining “women” is very much about entitlement, a masculine quality.”

“Sex roles are NOT hard-wired. They are culturally created stereotypes inflicted on us from infancy and designed to control and oppress those born with the biological capacity for reproduction (females).
Sex role objectors DO NOT have a “birth defect”. The very evidence that people prefer an alternative sex-role to the one assigned their sex (or who prefer none at all) disproves the gender-sex connection.
But genderists are a faith-based group with very much in common with conservative Christians and Muslims and Jews.”

“Womb envy is everywhere…men hate women because of their ability to bear life. Men’s obsession with robots, with reproductive technology, with forcing their way into the labor room…makes it clear that they are adamant that they will have what nature has not given them. And if they cannot have it, then it will exist on their terms, or not at all.”

“The only reason sex reassignment surgery exists in the first place is because there is a female sex class, where females are used by males for their own gratification (of any and every kind) and progeny.
Without that as a basis, there would be no reason for females to escape from their gender – and sex- role-coded bodies, and no reason for males to escape into them.
For the former, the reasons couldn’t be more obvious.
For the latter, trans activists have been obscuring the real reasons for decades: fetishizing the sex-class and submissive role (in their conceptualization, especially) of “woman.”

“If gender roles truly did not matter then we would not feel the need to surgically alter our genitalia to match the roles we want to pursue in life.”

“[Patriarchy’s] hidden motives are to entrench gender norms by using the threat of the corrective surgery involved in the transsexual movement.
If a young person diverges from gender norms, what purports to be a movement to break down gender conformity will, in actuality, be a movement where the implicit threat of sterilization will force children to perform strict gender roles.
Will girl children expressing an interest in becoming an engineer or rocket scientist be at risk of being gender reassigned?”

“There is…a double standard about the consequences of women being “unfair.” For example, not wanting to share a public restroom with males is practically the equivalent of a mass genocide. Refusing to wash a husband’s laundry can be viewed as an act of such vicious misandry, the woman will never be able to atone for it.
Considering all the hysteria, it’s incredible that women are the ones often perceived as the drama queens.”

“Woman” is the sex class, “man” is the rapist class. Each and every male knows he belongs to the class of human beings who are the vast majority of rapists, pedophiles, sexual harassers and abusers, and prostituters of other humans.
Rather than spending their lifetimes fighting such realities, most men spend their lifetimes smirking, defending, laughing, obscuring, and partaking…
It’s possible to imagine that a male bodied person would be so disgusted by his class-based role of oppressor as to want nothing to do with that, but that would lead a decent human being to renounce the entire system, not play the other primary role in it.”
