The man who recorded the incident in Southhampton last month can be heard saying the woman appeared to have said something “transphobic” to anger the employee.
“Never call me transphobic! Always! You don’t know me!” the customer yells at the Starbucks employee.
The transgender employee replied: “You call me a man, you’re transphobic Karen. Now get out.” The coffee shop clerk slapped the woman in the face and denied her refund request before dashing to the phone of a man who had filmed the incident.

“It’s time for female cyclists to protest the @UCI_cycling Policy,” Thompson tweeted. “Start kneeling at the starting lines. Team managers need to speak up and protect their drivers. At every race, hold signs that say ‘Save Women’s Sport’.”

In Ohio, a judge has acquitted a transgender woman of baring her penis in a YMCA women’s locker room, agreeing with the defendant that she is too fat to see the genitals.
“Quite simply, the facts do not exist to support a guilty verdict as charged,” Judge David McNamee said during the sentencing. “Glines’ genitals weren’t visible because other parts of her body covered them.”
Finally, a progressive NYC Catholic church has a new art exhibit next to the altar called God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.
While some praised the church for welcoming the “queer community,” many others believe the church has gone too far.
