The only one I can think of atm is Sally Haslanger, but IIRC Butler says that the critique botches some parts of their work. Someone else here might have read the critique more recently and can explain it better, but it's a place to start at least.

Karen Barad draws from them but also critiques them. I mean, that's not the whole point of the book, but... Well, "Meeting the Universe Halfway" is a fantastic book! The argument is that the relationship between the social and material is not one of unidirectional restraint
