One last thing about butch women being targeted for harassment using women's rooms when they're mistaken for trans women: This is also a race issue, because nonwhites often get this worse than white butches. The butch woman I know irl who has had this problem is biracial.

Black women often talk about being singled out for mockery based on traits that are perceived as masculine. White people are way worse at gendering Black people than they are whites, and they're more likely to consider calling the police.

When these transphobes claim that butches are never really misgendered because people can always tell, that's a racism thing as well as a transphobia thing.

If you're a white butch woman (or a white AFAB who presents masculine) and you've never had an issue using a woman's restroom, don't assume your experience is universal. Women of color, particularly Black women, have a very different experience.
