At a Cheese Cake Factory restaurant in San Francisco, a transgender TikTok star was confronted by a 70-year-old woman who became agitated and threatened to strike them during a heated outburst.

Lilly Contino was savoring her meal at the eatery in Union Square, San Francisco, when an aging woman seated beside her initiated a conversation.

The lady was not present in the video uploaded last week but her voice can be heard as she verbally attacks Contino while revealing her identification as a TERF. The term TERF is used to describe transphobic individuals, as stated by Dictionary.com.

The lady said to Contino, "Are you a young man? Do not mess with me because frankly, I fight, and when I do, I fight with full force."

Contino responded with the challenge, "I dare you to give it a go."

while she was having a meal. Lilly was dining at the Union Square eatery in San Francisco when an older lady seated close by struck up a conversation with her.

Although the woman wasn't visible in the footage, she could be heard verbally attacking Contino while referring to herself as a TERF or trans-exclusionary radical feminist. This ideological group is known for their opposition and hostility towards individuals who identify as transgender. The picture shows Contino.

The video on TikTok has been watched by over 11 million people who were shocked to see the fight took place in one of California's most progressive cities. Many viewers found it hard to believe.

"I shouldn't be criticized for being a TERF," the lady stated to Contino as she warned him of being accused of being racially discriminatory.

"I have the opportunity to embody my desired persona, and you have the freedom to embrace yours, don't you think?"

Contino asked: 'What does that mean?'

The female individual stated that she is not a practitioner of witchcraft.

The conversation flustered the woman, leading her to hurl additional insults at Contino.

The lady expressed, "I suggest you take your foolish pet, consume your disgusting meal and exit my existence."

"If not, I'll have to identify you as a white supremacist," she stated. "Even though you are a minority woman in her 70s, you are still prejudiced. I am entitled to my rights just as much as you are."

Soon after, a waiter approached Contino and sent the restaurant manager over to their table.

It is not certain whether the woman was requested to depart, however, the manager offered his apologies to Contino for the ordeal she went through.

At the @cheesecake factory in San Francisco's Union Square, I was threatened by a person who identified themselves as a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). Luckily, I was live streaming at the time and managed to catch the incident on camera.

Contino resides in San Francisco and has amassed over 121,000 followers as a popular person on TikTok.

Contino was surprised and taken aback by her encounter, particularly due to the fact that employees at Cheesecake Factory did not step in to help.

Contino expressed shock and disbelief that the situation was even occurring. The reason for living in San Francisco was because it is a city known for being liberal and one of the most accommodating cities for the LGBTQ+ community. It was surprising that such an incident occurred in a prominent area, and no one offered assistance. CBS reported on Contino's remarks.

In a subsequent video, Contino responded to inquiries from audiences regarding the woman who was recognized.

Contino acknowledged that the woman belonged to a minority group, but did not reveal her specific ethnicity. Additionally, Contino mentioned that it was uncertain whether the woman was intoxicated, even though she arrived with a two-liter container of ginger ale which she was consuming directly from the bottle's spout.

She requested for two servings of mimosas... However, they were not brought to her table,' she included.

According to Contino, she was in the middle of a live video streaming session when the lady suddenly initiated a conversation with her. After that, the elderly lady voluntarily departed the restaurant, as per Contino's account.

"I was on my stream and she started talking to me by chance," the speaker shared. "Afterwards, she left the area and though Cheesecake Factory managers noticed, they didn't identify her. We do not possess any information about her identity."

Contino has resumed his usual content posting following the incident.
