I think what June is saying is that it is grody bullshit that we have created an environment where Female-ID'd Butches are perceived as "less Butch" than Male-ID'd Butches, and that this grody bullshit environment causes some Butches to succumb to the male pronoun even though they aren't necessarily feeling it, in order to avoid bullshit/drama/ridicule/etc.
EDIT - duh. you weren't saying that June was happy about it.
yes, I do believe you heard/read June correctly. yes, I am QUITE positive that happens.
