Good on you Brooke. I was insulted once being called male when I was presenting as female in a store here. I went nuts. The woman was fired on the spot, I got the coat I wanted to buy for free and a policy statement was sent around all the stores.

Last time I had a bra fitting I was taken into the cubicle she measured me and we tried several different styles. There was no hesitation. she even helped and advised me about setting my boobs more comfortably.

I just finally heard back from the Macy's attorney. The woman that discriminated against me has been fired. The manager that did not support me is on suspension, and Macy's has retrained all of the local store employees on how to properly conduct themselves.

I am glad to know that no one else will face this type of treatment at this store again.

Thank God, Brooke, I am so glad to hear this good news. Good for you for taking the opportunity to report it. And so much good happened because of it! It is moments like this that makes me very proud to be in a group of people so good as this. Good job, and good luck in the future. I hope you never have to go through this again.

You rock, Girlfriend.

Do not piss our Brooke off.

Thank you.  I did not really do much. I let the ACLU and Washington Human Rights Commision do all the leg work.  >:-)

An Atta Girl for our Brooke! Sounds like an appropriate course of action taken by Macy's, Personally I like shopping there! Been waiting for you to get some resolution on that situation because I've been thinking of trying on some women's skinny jeans and didn't relish the idea of having to pack them down the hall to the men's dressing rooms. Gaaah!

That's great news Brooke!

If I go shopping when I get a chance to head back to the NW it will be one less place to worry about :)

Very proud of you, Brooke.  I'm happy that you fought for yourself and that good won today and triumphed over the evil of intolerance.

Nicely done.

Thank you Maddie and F.A.

@Michelle - Washington State law is supposed to protect us all from this stuff. We are all free to shop where we want, and use the appropriate facilities.

Thanx Brooke :)

  One day I will be free from the tyranny of "boy mode" ;) and will enjoy being all girl all the time! It's nice to think that society will change as well.
