However, because Pleasant's ID indicates that she's male, the man working the door wouldn't let her in, she said.

"He said if you're a man, then you have to look like a man to come into our casino," Pleasant said. "We were just dismissed, totally. It was a blatant display of discrimination to me."

Pleasant, as a female impersonator whose stage name is Kandy, is unable to get her ID changed because she has not undergone transition surgery and Texas has no gender-marker law.
