Videos showing former Starbucks employees claiming they were misgendered while working for the coffee company have emerged on TikTok - following the sacking this week of a transgender employee following a furious confrontation with a customer.
The clash between the transgender woman and the woman buying coffee broke out at a Starbucks branch near the ferry terminal of Southampton, Hampshire, on Sunday, April 30th.
A 56-second clip, filmed by a man outside the branch, shows the employee on the same side of the counter as the customer, arguing with her.
The person recording the incident said the woman had apparently said something 'transphobic' to upset the employee, who angrily refuse to serve her.
Now, other videos by employees of the high street coffee chain - filmed before this week's incident - have emerged showing baristas also claiming to be misgendered by customers buying coffee.
While it's not clear whether those in the videos still work for Starbucks, they all appear wearing the distinctive green barista apron bearing the Seattle company's distinctive logo.
Posted in April last year, barista @Meghannesium, thought to be from the US, and identifying as a transgender woman, shared a clip claiming she was misgendered while working at a branch of Starbucks.
In it, she dances to the song 'You just got slayed' as a caption reading 'getting misgendered at work' flashes across the screen.

OK, I’ll ask: what’s a ‘punter’ ?
I don’t have a clue!
Mental illness supported by the globalists to bring down democracies.
Actually l’m glad I don’t know

How I refer to you is not your free speech right. It is mine. Pronouns are the speech of someone who is referring to someone else. You can’t control that. You can’t demand that I refer to you in a certain manner. So, don’t try. I will not comply.
Thank you for reminding me why I have never entered a starbucks in 10 years.
Why would anyone drink beverages prepared by weird and freakish ‘baristas’?
I believe in Great Britain a punter is someone making a wager? Not sure how it ties in with this though so I could be wrong. In any even, reason no. 5,437 to never go to Starbucks.
Hang on a sec. Let me look......Yep. Still a guy
What if I refer to everyone as “bitch” who exhibits this mental illness?
he misgenders himself everyday...
why is he afraid of the truth?
You are most welcome my Dear, I never did understand why people paid $5.00 for dirty dish water.
MacDonalds has better coffee cheaper.
These so called trans people seem to have no understanding , or no desire to understand , that the rest of the world is just not on board with all of this.
And if they had any self-awareness I think they would understand how they get misgendered.
I’ve never met any transgender people but I have seen some on TV. Every single one I’ve seen On TV looks like someone playing dress up of the opposite sex.
Do they have any self awareness that they just don’t look like a member of the opposite sex, and people are not being malicious to misgender them?
Geez! How many of these perverts can there be?
I have been telling my kids this exact same thing. Pronouns are the words I use to refer to a person while talking to a 3rd party. Attempts to have me use a “preferred” pronoun are simply attempts to control the contents of my conversation with a 3rd party. Not No, but Hell No.
Thanks for the definitions, but I did look it up before I asked the question. None of the definitions had anything to do with identifying a person who declines to participate in the transgender fad. That’s why I asked.
Did the Daily Mail’s headline writer just pull the word out of his bum?
Is it still free if you are over 65?
Or 50 cents?
Sticks and stones...
