"A TRANSGENDER beauty queen from Burton claims that she was given a lifetime ban from a town bar - after using the ladies' toilets.

22-year-old Talulah Eve Brown was in the Burton bar on a night out with some friends on Sunday, February 28, after a doorman ordered her to leave after she used the ladies' toilets.

Talulah, who has won Miss Transgender Birmingham, said that she was left 'humiliated' by the events."

I suppose this sort of thing is bound to happen now and again. As a bar owner, you can set policy and you can discipline workers who disobey, but you can't ensure 100% compliance all the time. I hope the security guard gets fired, and I imagine the bar will find itself in some legal trouble.

I don't like the fact that the article found the need to reveal the victim's deadname and surgical history. That's a violation of privacy that compounds her victimization. It also smacks of gender policing - implying that her surgical history and the fact that she's a "beauty queen" has bearing on her being entitled to use the correct restroom.
