The Starbucks manager filmed screaming at a customer for being ‘transphobic’ after she used the word ‘lady’ to describe a non-binary member of staff is an outspoken campaigner for trans rights, we can reveal.
Until today the identity of the coffee shop worker filmed berating a woman and throwing her out of a branch of the chain in Southampton in footage that went viral has remained secret - but MailOnline can reveal she is Luna Spain, 28.
The dramatic footage led to widespread speculation over the identity of the person caught on camera screaming at Vanessa Thomas, 55, after she inadvertently referred to one of her colleague’s as a ‘lady.’
Luna had been working in the Starbucks, which is partially owned by a licensor for the past six months combining the job with studying for a degree in Environmental Science at the Open University.
She was raised in Gosport, Hampshire where she attended a local secondary school but has been living in Southampton for the past five years.
Since the incident, she has lost her job at the Starbucks with the company claiming that they did not ‘tolerate such behaviour.’ Police are also investigating the matter.
Ms Thomas, who has been trying to establish the identity of the store manager since the incident, claimed that she was in fear of her life after being physically thrown out of the café by her and that she then attempted to attack her partner Mark Andrews, who was filming the altercation.
She insisted that the whole row stemmed from her using the word 'lady' to describe a member of staff serving her without realising that they did not 'identify as a woman.’ This prompted Luna, who was standing close by, to confront Ms Thomas for using the wrong gender to describe her colleague.

One told MailOnline: ‘Luna has a partner, and they seem a nice enough couple but don’t say a lot to us. Nobody around here has a problem with her sexuality, but people are quite scared of offending her if they say the wrong thing."
Translation: Everyone in it's neighborhood is afraid of it.
I still say it will soon be that we just call each other COMRADE. I don’t know if that will work if they think they are some kind of furry animal.
I wonder if her nickname is Looney?
Someone needs a swift kick in the ‘nads.
Used to be that you could substitute the word "fake" for "trans" and translate, but now that became known, they're muddying the waters again.
No sane society would put up with this 🦬💩
Do the pics at the link show that this guy likes to touch children?
Lady is one of MY pronouns, and I use it to mean whatever I want at the time.
Just because I say ‘lady’, it does not necessarily mean what you think.
Take that, lady.
Saying nothing isn't an option?
We can not live in peace with theae criminals. It is time to return the attacks towards these evil humans.
he says he is “non binary” what ever that is
I said this earlier about this guy:
“Nothing says “toxic male” more than “transgender woman”.”
This guy manifests the worst in sinful behavior:
rage
hostility
anger
violence
hatred of women
impatience
selfishness
lack of self-control
etc.
This guy’s political bandwagon is just that...
This is all so hilariously stupid. There’s a dude at my work that wants to be called a woman’s name, and people refer to him as “her”. I’ve told my coworkers and my boss I won’t be doing that. Their feeeeeeeelings don’t override sanity.
I will call the person their made-up name, but that’s as far as I go and I will not be forced to play make believe with him.
So do we legally have to call him a her? If we see he’s a man then that’s what we call him. Is that correct? In other words by calling him a him even if he does not like it am I legally liable?
“... an outspoken trans activist whose neighbours are terrified of ‘offending by mistakenly saying the wrong thing’”
For travel expenses and a reasonable fee...
Sounds like a neighbour you ignore ,never look at or talk to
one solution to all of this is simply to install touch-screen order kiosks like Wendys is doing ... no need to talk to anyone at all unless the order is wrong, and the solution to THAT is to have a post-order touch-screen kiosk that gives tw options: 1. Order is correct, 2. Order is incorrect, refund being issued ...
Plus at setup like the above reduces the number of workers to an absolute minimum ...
Luna is a man in drag.
I refuse to play the pronoun game. If somebody is offended, so be it.
I welcome that dude to get in my face.
AM I the only one that noticed most of the pictures of “her” were with little children? Or am I assuming the worst without evidence? Or the question of how “she” was that close to so many different kids?
