The Greenhouse in Detford had this sticker sign up.
Given the tiny number of trans people who must come through their doors compared to the large number of women, and that the likelihood of any of those women “intimidating” transpeople is pretty much nil, then wtf is this about ? I’m finding this banning of women who hold different opinions deeply sinister.

I want to go there and order lots of food and then go "oh I'm not welcome here? I'll fuck off then."

But sadly I never go anywhere near Deptford.

Srsly if they really did just want to show support for trans people all they need to do is stick up a couple of Stonewall posters and a Mermaids collecting tin.
How stupid would you have to be to think an exclusionary sign was a better way to do it?

My locals changed its toilet signs 🤨

we won't accept intimidating behaviour to transgender people

What’s that then?

Breastfeeding? sitting down while having a pee? Not having a bulge under my skirt?

Oh Please, London women, get down there with Lesbians not welcome here stickers.

By the responses they’ve had, they’ll probably have closed down by the time you get there. I wouldn’t waste the train fare. 😁

Somone needs to be adding “lesbians not welcome.” Stickers and see how that goes down then.

"Lesbians who won't suck lady-dick not welcome here" 😂😂😂

"we won't accept intimidating behaviour to transgender people"

Aaand another chunk of made-up bullshit hits the fan. Goes well with 'you don't want transpeople to exist', 'you want to exterminate transpeople', 'you want to deny transpeople human rights', blah, blah blah qalikhboiybrrogvyzhbub

Aaargh.

I am so sick of the fucking lying.

The twitter thread is very heartening.

Carrotsandcauliflower · 21/10/2018 21:26

That should get reported to the local council as homophobic abuse.

Sorry, meant to post screenshot. I want to know how they are defining 'trans exclusionary'.

If I recall rightly, the last thread was also worried about their hygiene rating - given the state of the kitchen! Very mumsnet.Grin

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 21/10/2018 21:23

X post Juells.

Their defensive tweet reads to me like they're a bit scared at the idea that the police might get involved.
We must stand up to this shit. Boycotting isn't going to be a clear enough message.

Juells · 21/10/2018 21:21

Well, they rowed back pretty quickly. Think they've had a bit of a shock at the pasting they've had on twitter. So dreadful when you think you'll get brownie points for being woke, and instead you're given your tea in a mug.

Popchyk · 21/10/2018 21:18

But fine to be intimidating to Terfs ( with the TERFs not welcome here notice).

Okay.

hackmum · 21/10/2018 21:11

So, they’ll accept racists, homophobes, misogynists...but not radical feminists. Nice.
