TWIBS: Adult Human Female Bar Poised to Suck
Thoroughly outraged by transgender women she made up to get mad about, Jenny Watson threatens to open UK’s first “female-only” lesbian pub that trans women could easily sneak into if, in spite of all the bigotry, they wanted to!
The transphobic Englishwomen of TERF Isle are at it again: Anti-trans weirdo Jenny Watson has decided it’s time to form her own "female-only lesbian community" on the internet. And soon, she threatens, in the real world too!
“Trans-rights [sic] activists are still systematically targeting us in an attempt to shut us down,” she says about a lesbian speed dating event she hosted in a weird, ranty article for Spiked Online. “They refuse to accept that the lesbians who attend our events do not want to date men.”
Maybe UK gals are just built different, but I can’t say that I’ve ever met an American dyke who would sign up for speed dating of her own volition. Meet your new partners somewhere normal, like a thread on Twitter or your friend’s insane Discord server!
Watson also says she “[refuses] to be intimidated,” but as far as I can tell, nobody’s ever tried to intimidate her… they just didn’t want her weird bigoted obsession stinkin’ up their bar!
The London pub in question, The College Arms, is where Watson hosted her events. There’s been some tug-of-war between the pub’s manager, the company that owns the pub, and the anti-transgender hate group LGB Alliance. After Watson made up a bunch of lies about horny trans girls crashing her events in latex suits—no, really—CEO of LGB Alliance UK, Kate Barker, got involved directly by harassing the pub’s owner in person. When that failed, she changed tack and started harassing the company that owns the pub, The Stonegate Group, until they acquiesced to the terrorists’ demands and gave them the go ahead to discriminate against a marginalized community!

But something changed between then and now, and these strange, hateful women are no longer welcome just about anywhere. In response, they’ve created “The L Community,” currently a cyberspace echo chamber and later this year a real venue that identifies as a “members only group” to justify their bigoted exclusion of trans women.
I’m sure you’re wondering how exactly they plan to verify that their members are “biological” women? Are they going to require some sort of expensive chromosome screening? That could exclude intersex women, and since most people don’t know what chromosomes they have without testing, there’s every possibility that Jenny herself could have XY chromosomes!
Surely they aren’t going to try and get away with physical examinations, right? Who wants to drop trou to get into the bigot party? Not to mention there are plenty of trans women strutting around with bespoke pussies of their own, indistinguishable from a homegrown pussy.
So I poked around on their site, and… uh, well…

Yeah, it’s just an ID and photo check. You know, the ID that you can apparently have changed by applying for and acquiring a Gender Recognition Certificate.
Now, I’m an American girl who’s only sort of familiar with the strange goings on of fair Britannia, but that just doesn’t seem like much of a hurdle to clear. If for some unfathomable reason a trans woman wanted to infiltrate the lesbian “adult human female” pub, I think she could do so pretty easily!
I know these ladies like to think they can “always tell,” but I’m here to let you know, they sure can’t. My most feminine trait is having long, gorgeous hair, and even I have a solid fifty-fifty chance of being gendered correctly by strangers. Have you seen some of the trans girls we’ve got out here these days? They’re fucking supermodels! You don’t stand a chance!
This whole thing is a massive insult to the UK’s struggling queer community. Due to the rising cost of rent and a pandemic that has devastated their economies, there are only three permanent lesbian bars left in the UK. Now, people like Jenny Watson want to do even more damage to the UK’s queer community by shoring up strongholds for their hateful ideas.
Jenny thinks that trans people are a new concept. She thinks that back in the day, you could be certain that any woman you met in a lesbian bar was a cis woman. But if you ask any certified queer elder who hasn’t gotten wrapped up in transphobic mania, they’ll tell you that we’ve always been around. Trans dykes have been showing up to queer venues and parties for as long as they’ve been happening, babe.
So build your sad little pillow fort and insist that we can’t come inside with our nasty “biological male” cooties, or whatever the fuck. We were here before you, Jenny, and we aren’t going anywhere.
