Lu's women-born-women policy

What Lu's means is that the obstetrician who first laid eyes on you had to say "it's a girl." If not, you're not a real woman and you never can be.

In other words, according to their policy, transsexual women are not allowed in their women-serving pharmacy. Nor are intersexed women (women born with "ambiguous genitalia" who were subject to involuntary and crude "corrective" surgeries.)

Lu's will, however, help men who have changed sex from female to male.
