BOOM: Transgender Man Claims DC Restaurant Demanded ID Before Using Restroom, Then Kicked Him out

A Washington, D.C., restaurant may face legal action after an employee asked a transgender [man] for identification upon entering the women’s restroom over the weekend.

Charlotte Clymer said [he] was attending a bachelorette party at Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar with a “large group of women,” but claimed [he] was the only one who was asked to prove [he] was [‘female’] before using the ladies room late Friday evening.

Clymer tweeted that the Washington, D.C., Office of Human Rights and the city’s licensing authority will be conducting an investigation. [He] also plans to explore legal options against the restaurant, according to the Washington Post. . .

“Near the end our time there, I went to use the restroom with Bethany Quinn and before I reached the door, an attendant stuck out his arm and said he needed to see my ID. When I asked why, he said that ‘female’ must be on an ID to use the women’s restroom. No one else was asked,” Clymer wrote on Facebook. . .

“I tell him he’s wrong and there’s no chance I’m showing him my ID. There are people crammed into this hallway. It’s busy. He insists I need to show my ID, I tell him that’s not happening, and demand to see what law he’s citing,” [he] continued on Facebook.
