!["I, a trans woman, believed I had to follow the EHRC interim update and was followed into the men's room by a male security officer and told to get out. It is worth noting that before this I was already shaking with fear about the possible confrontation that could ensue. The security man and the two other men in the room circled me. I said I believed, according to what the EHRC and our political leaders have said, that I have to be in there now.
Now that he infers I am trans, he starts sniggering at me. The other men in the room join him in laughing at me. I tell him that it isn't funny and please stop laughing at me. He doesn't stop and I say "it might be funny to you but to me this is my life and I am scared, scared about being attacked, please stop laughing, it's not funny'. He tells me he doesn't care what I have to say, that I need to get out. So I do.
I leave and talk to the store manager, where again, I have to relay all sorts of intimate and private details, of my background, my trans and intersex statuses, history of being assaulted, my genital configuration. This is humiliating.
I felt deeply unsafe, humiliated, hopeless like nobody cares, violated. I don't think the EHRC lets me use the [service of my gender] so I was just denied service."

![Several users received an error message that says "The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists," when they tried to add the phrases to their bios on Thursday.
I tested this myself on a new Grindr account, nd received the same error message. I was able to add "Zionist" to my profile (without "no"), however, and could also add any phrase I could think of: "no Arabs," "no Blacks," "no Palestinians," "no Muslims," "no Christians," "no Jews," "no trans," "no Republicans," "no Democrats," and so on. "No Zionist[s]" was the only phrase that was blocked in my testing.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j76trmiofvaxxpvx2vnb2vwf/bafkreifxa65y63tbp3ywd2ptw7coae66emjr3tibqj7qkbpr5abyfaz66m)
