The transgendered woman who claims she was insulted and humiliated at Level Nightclub after she tried to use the women's washroom says the whole event would have been a non-issue if the club hadn't used a display of force when asking her to leave.

"What bothered me the most is that they had ample opportunity when I first asked which washroom to use, if they thought something was wrong at that time, they could have simply asked me for ID instead of escalating it into a big show of strength and public humiliation," said the woman, who asked that she be identified as Jane.
