yes this is legal which means it already happens. My wife, who’s a Black butch lesbian, and her white butch friend were denied entry to one of the big lesbian gay bars in London last year. Deputizing strangers to police ppl’s gender at the gay bar door is evil and hurts us all

If I opened a lesbian bar in London, that only permits entry to women (no TIMs), would you support it? This is legal. Do you think it would survive or die?

To be clear, two middle aged butch lesbians were mistaken for and accused of being men. We had to speak to a manager. Who should be in charge of the gender police at the door of your gay bar? How do you propose you’ll keep men out? Do you plan on genital inspections? Fuck off
