A person was seen holding a sign that read “TERFs can suck d—”. TERF, an acronym for the radical feminist with exclusion, is a derogatory term used to describe feminists who criticize gender. After the protest ended, the women’s rights group said they went to the pub only to be locked inside as the trans activists gathered outside. Police were seen on video guarding the entrance. “GC women and men have been barred from a Bristol pub by trans activists who will not #LetWomenSpeak,” a Twitter user wrote as he posted a picture of pro-rights protesters gathered outside. “The police closed the gates of the pub.” Another Twitter user involved in the action wrote: “I had never been evacuated from a pub before. Bristol, what a shame. “Women are watching everywhere, that is why we need to raise our voices and protect our rights, including our right to speak.” A witness at the scene wrote on social media: “Right now in Bristol #StandingForWomen where #BlackPampers have surrounded the pub, screaming through loudspeakers that they will leave bad reviews for the pub.”
