The bar, named L Community, is set to open as a private members club so it can legally restrict access to cisgender women only, The Telegraph reports.

L Community has been set up by Jenny Watson, who was criticised in September 2023 for attempting to ban trans women from attending her lesbian speed-dating event in London. The event was eventually allowed to go ahead for cis women only.

Watson, 32, told The Telegraph that events she puts on that exclude trans women are often cancelled or refused by venues, and that her new members club could legally exclude trans women.

Watson added that her venue was being set up as a response to the decline of lesbian bars in the UK, voicing her opposition to the fact that many current lesbian bars and events welcome trans and non-binary visitors.

Following this news, the LGBTQ+ has been pushing back and voicing their opposition on social media.
