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.

When you have a neighbor like that you don’t speak to it.
Who is the poor kid in 2 photos with this freak??
They would never do that, unless they had a lot of friends besides them. They ONLY attack lone individuals or indivduals who give off a “non-confrontational” vibe. They never go after anyone they think might actually retaliate, big freaking bullies that they are.
For all

Afraid of the She/He/IT?
Amazing that all you need to do to have all the power in the world to arrest others in England is put on a dress.
Nut case.
They might be former, but in the pictures he still looked like a freak. If those were my children, there would be discussions.

Remember that ping you used to have about people who mangled their private parts?
Yea now would be a good time for it to have a comeback with this as the poster child

Did you really have to do that? Oy vey.
I refuse to allow anyone to police my speech, especially when I refer to someone in a private conversation.
You can call yourself whatever you want. I do not have to believe it.
Bet it’s parents gave it a toaster to play with while taking a bath.

Another one on the woke list.
