Just heard from a friend who was told tonight in a pub she's been using for ages that she's been told she has to use the gents from now on. 🤬 I'll let her post probably tomorrow and then repost her then. I intend going there solo this weekend.

#TransOnTrains 3 pubs in Bermondsey with @craftybeergirls.bsky.social, two Good Beer Guide listed pubs I've not been to before and then finishing at the Kernel Taproom. Miserable afternoon - had to break out my gloves and coat with a hood for the cycle to the station.

NO. DO NOT DO THIS. Do NOT think about The Event and under NO circumstances attempt to relive The Event. This may cause DISTRESS and CONFUSION. REMAIN INDOORS.

Yes diesel is expensive at £2 a litre but a milkshake IPA works out at about £18 a litre and tastes an awful lot worse.

The Sportsman's Club in Charlottetown PEI booked the punk band Rougaroux, which has several trans members. The bartender immediately barred them from using the women's restroom, even taping up a transphobic sign. The band packed up their gear and left. Google and Yelp review your hearts out, folks.
