We were in this pub with these @FiLiA_charity women, sat at a table at the other end of the smoking area. A pink haired security guard assumed we were of the same kin, came to a table with 4 lesbians and asked us to leave. 1/

One of our table asked why we were being told to leave, we had been sitting there quietly for one drink. Was accused of being rude for asking questions. Eventually she left us alone because there was no explanation. We refused to leave, until we saw one of the other women 2/

Being cornered by two of the security men. We went out and I reminded them of the Equality Act in the UK (SEX being a protected charactistic) and the @MForstater case protecting our beliefs in law. I was told that these men did not have provide their names to me 3/

And that they could remove us for whatever reason without explanation. I was told that it’s discriminatory to say a “transwoman is not a woman and is a man”. Again I reminded this security guard that belief in biological sex is protected in law in the UK 4/

We were asked to leave and the police called on us, with a woman being arrested for asking a male to leave her single sex toilet. My table was not even sitting with this woman, and yet be association we were asked to leave and we’re required to defend women 5/5 #cardiff #FILIA22

We have requested the body cam footage that they kept reminding us of. Irish women were asked to leave a bar for assertinggn security based rights. #HeidisBarCardiff hates women. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #FILIA22 #discrimination @joeliveline @HMcEntee

Is this what is to come under the #HateCrimeBill in Ireland? Will women who MAY be associated w/ women who disagree with an ideology being kicked out become the norm? Will we be considered to commit crimes simply for a perceived threat when we go out for a pint? @MichealMartinTD

Will I, a 24 year old lesbian become a criminal for saying I reject penis because I am a lesbian under the #HateCrimeBill? Will I be prosecuted for hate crimes when I say a man cannot be a woman/lesbian/mother @HMcEntee @MForstater @_cellingsen @HJoyceGender @joeliveline

Is this my future as a young Irish lesbian once the #HateCrimeBill passes? @lichamber @NiamhSmythTD @HMcEntee @MichealMartinTD @joeliveline @rtenews @MarkLTighe @EilisOHanIon @AkiDwA @IrelandICA @Ire_LGBAlliance @FemmeLoves @MForstater @_cellingsen @bindelj
