You might have thought it was the most innocuous item someone could wear: a simple black T-shirt bearing the dictionary definition of woman as ‘human female’.
But a young mother has been barred from her local pub after a complaint that the words discriminated against transgender people.
The unlikely new front line of the ongoing war between feminists and transgender campaigners is the snug Five Clouds Tap and Bottle in the historic market town of Macclesfield.
Rebekah Wershbale said she was ‘stunned’ when a barwoman at the pub informed her she was banned because of the definition.
Ms Wershbale said: ‘She told me that the T-shirt I was wearing was upsetting people because it was transphobic and not inclusive so I was barred. What she meant was that I was somehow offending men who say they are women because my T-shirt did not include them in the definition of a woman. There aren’t even any transgender staff or patrons at the pub. It’s crackers.’
Ms Wershbale is a supporter of feminist group Fair Play For Women, which opposed a Government’s consultation to reform the Gender Recognition Act (GRA).
This proposed legal change would allow people to self-identify as the gender they believe they are without any medical diagnosis. Feminists and transgender campaigners have been locked in an increasingly heated battle with leading feminists fearing the change will harm the safety and privacy of women.
Ms Wershbale, a mother-of-one, had gone last Sunday with her girlfriend to play board games at the pub where she has been a regular for three years.

How do we know the barwoman is a barwoman? DId they it how it identifies?
Telling the truth is a radical act.
Good for her. (yes I know that is sexist)
Woman: Source of trouble.
So, if this entity wore a shirt with the daffynition of x-gendered, would she offend males and females and be asked to leave? So confusing. Is it sir or madam today? You’re confused, we’re confused.
This BS crap about trans, bi, homo, etc. serves no purpose other than to stir up sh-t.
England is so lost.
Sounds like a club full of trannys and faggots Better off leaving it and finding a normal gin mill. Let the queers have a club where they can closet together. Better that way.
1) I agree with her definition.
2) I don’t mind the way the words curve ...
The Left eats its own.
Always................
Had an awesome time there once. In the early 1960’s.
Just a bunch of Left-wing nutcases................

I’m sure there are some transgendered crackers.
Now, with my untainted mind, if I had seen her I just would have thought, “Yes, indeed, you are.”
Words don’t discriminate.
They are constantly moving the bar. It’s not about bias. Hasn’t been for a long time. Anything that a normal person says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do, is now considered offensive.
There is nothing you can do now that is not subject to accusations of bias.
New definition: Woman. a man with a dangling duo surrounding a front stick who says he’s a woman.
I get work emails all the time where the person provides their pronouns in their signature block

I suppose everyone else would have been offended by a FEMINISM IS DEAD shirt.
“Ms Wershbale, a mother-of-one, had gone last Sunday with her girlfriend to play board games at the pub where she has been a regular for three years.”
Ah, she picked the wrong cause for her shirt.
“Gays” trump feminists.
