"I’ve visited this place with people from various backgrounds—lesbian, gay, transgender—and I have to say, it’s fantastic! It doesn’t matter what you look like, as long as you’re dressed nicely. We’ve never been denied entry here, and we come often. If you’re a butch lesbian, go ahead and wear men’s shoes! I doubt the bouncer cares, but if he sees you’re a girl with long hair, he might just assume you’ll be in heels. It seems in this society, you can’t win either way. If he told her to wear dress shoes, who knows if she would have been offended? Should we refer to her as "she" or "he"? It’s all so complicated. People need to stop overanalyzing and take comments at face value. Avoid playing the race or gender card unless you’re specifically told you can’t enter because of your sexuality. In my opinion, this establishment should consider filing a defamation case against that person—however they identify."
