I’m fairly certain there’s way more to this than a t shirt.

NotMeOhNo · 30/12/2018 22:42

It's awful, but it's also good, because I hope there's lots of publicity. Potential to really expose what lesbians have been putting up with.

GenderIsAPrison · 30/12/2018 22:42

Reminds of Dr Haddock and Posie Parker.

RollerJed · 30/12/2018 22:42

Were you there Karen? What else happened?

Karenspolos · 30/12/2018 22:52

No I wasn’t there, and I may well be completely wrong but we have mutual friends and I am struggling to think of more “right on” people. Homophobia would be the very very very last thing I would have expected. And when you read the story apparently these two women were regular customers. What business chucks out their regulars on the strength of a t shirt slogan?

userschmoozer · 30/12/2018 22:54

Maybe you could ask them. Personally I've found the right on crowd to be more supportive of trans rights than women's rights or lesbians rights.

FamilyOfAliens · 30/12/2018 22:56

What does “right on people” mean?

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 30/12/2018 23:01

Lefty dudebros who think woman is just a gender identity?

userschmoozer · 30/12/2018 23:03

''Right on'' means vaguely lefty liberal types, who believe in social justice. More laid back than ''politically correct people''.

2cats2many · 30/12/2018 23:05

Yep. 'Right on' men can be the worst when it comes to crapping on women from great height in a misguided effort to be progressive.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 30/12/2018 23:08

They got thrown out of one of the micro brewery places in headed-fast-toward-hipster-central-need-a-beard-to-enter Macc?
Why am I not surprised.

Also their reply (now deleted) a screen shot is in the twitter thread is ridiculous.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 30/12/2018 23:08

Homophobia would be the very very very last thing I would have expected.

Pride and Stonewall are homophobic nowadays though - look at the reaction the Lesbians Are Female Homosexuals banner got.

And if 'right on' people believe in trans ideology and have seen Posie Parker on TV aren't they likely to associate the Adult Human Female T-shirts with her?

GenderIsAPrison · 30/12/2018 23:09

What they don’t realise , or maybe don’t really care, is that they are the useful idiots in the TRAs ideology.

Wrybread · 30/12/2018 23:11

Apparently the pub are saying she's caused arguments before. So sounds like they banned her from wearing the top because of the previous arguments?

There's a bloke who was downstairs in the pub saying the she didn't do anthropology wrong, though.

But it's sex discrimination. They have refused to serve her due to her wearing the top with the dictionary definition of women on it. And they've also called her transphobic,

It's a shame. It's a nice pub. But a really bad move on their part.

Wrybread · 30/12/2018 23:12

Anything ...not anthropology. Why on earth did autocorrect think I'd want to say that rather than anything? ConfusedHmm

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 30/12/2018 23:12

Sounds like a pub to stay well away from.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 30/12/2018 23:14

According to the pub this individual had behaved transphobically in the past, and they felt they had to protect their customers and staff from offensive ideologies Hmm

GenderIsAPrison · 30/12/2018 23:17

The bar for transphobia is set pretty low though from what we’ve seen.

Wrybread · 30/12/2018 23:17

Well let's see if they can prove their libellous statement against the woman they just discriminated against, hey?

GenderIsAPrison · 30/12/2018 23:20

It’s DARVO innit. It’s bullying standing on a ‘moral high ground’. You could argue that it is more effective than the ‘Step outside’ form of bullying. And absolutely 10/10 for gaslighting effects.

OVAgroundWOMBlingfree · 30/12/2018 23:21

According to the pub this individual had behaved transphobically in the past,

Their definition of “transphobia” seems to be - be a woman and say it on a tshirt.

EmpressAdultHumanFemale · 30/12/2018 23:24

Those T-shirts are appearing fast now on the Twitter thread.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 30/12/2018 23:24

I know. How dare she!

Someone on that twitter thread said "everyone hates lesbians unless they have a penis". Sounds about right Hmm

Redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2018 23:55

Macclesfield isn't totally backward
Although if you give me the name of the pub I might give a different opinion

Redshoeblueshoe · 30/12/2018 23:56

I could go there with my lovely new FPFW hoddie
