Misgendered and violent

You've got it nice Grin

Terrifying individual, trans or not.

You're right starcrossed . I remember Pip Bunce, the Credit Suisse employee. He was obviously Pip when he wore his pink frilly dress to work, and not when he wore his dark coloured pin stripe suit.

It's no wonder transwomen want to use female only spaces. Imagine having to make them possibly confront that level of male violence ?

starcrossedseahorse · 28/12/2018 19:36

Come on nice you should know by now that pink = woman. #nodebate

I hadn't seen this until this thread.

He said it was obvious he was a woman. It obviously wasn't because a man and a woman both called him sir. Pink trainers and hoop earrings didn't erase his biological sex or male violence did they?

I expect many of us have had experience working behind the counter, or still do. I certainly have.

I think the worse thing is a very angry customer - and one who is out of control aggressive, and making threats, is just so frightening.

Just on a personal level, in my short time of working at the checkout, as a young woman (about 18 - Saturday job in the 6th form) I had, maybe 3 or 4 very memorable, very angry customers - you know, not just a bit angry - but the ones who cause a scene - the sort who start yelling, and even threatening you. All were male.

Here is The Sun's report. I wonder what their readership is?

But, but, but that never happens! Transwomen are the most oppressed people on the planet!

If 'she' complained I imagine that things could have got very sticky for the poor lad. He was incredibly polite in such a horrible situation.

AnyFucker · 28/12/2018 19:27

Bumping

ToeToToe · 28/12/2018 19:27

It's frightening how aggressive that person is, to a very young man who is serving him.

Wonder if that young man will keep his job? Law C16, I believe, makes it a hate crime to misgender someone, doesn't it?

starcrossedseahorse · 28/12/2018 19:23

Such horrific oppression and bullying and threats of violence too. Awful to watch.

starcrossedseahorse · 28/12/2018 19:21

What a shocking video! Shame that is is EVERYWHERE now and that so many people will watch it how that they know they are not supposed to.

ChewyLouie · 28/12/2018 19:21

A perfect illustration of the vulnerability of transwomen. Poor delicate souls.

It's certainly good that HQ have drawn attention to it by removing threads.

Goodness. That's an awful spectacle - and so aggressive.

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 28/12/2018 19:17

That's why there's a tonne of threads about it.

Pretty certain everyone in the world has seen it.

Pretty certain MN mods have been cowed into not letting us discuss it, though.
