PEABODY — Members of a local transgender social club are claiming they were refused entrance into a Peabody restaurant because of their appearance.

Ashley Bottoms, 42, of Saugus is alleging that she and seven others from Sisters Family were not let into Capone's Italian American restaurant on Summit Street because their appearance did not correspond with the photographs on their identifications.

"We feel we're being discriminated against," Bottoms said yesterday.
