On Jan. 29, a group of eight transgender women allege they faced gender bias and discrimination at Capone's restaurant in Peabody, Mass. They will soon enter a period of mediation with the restaurant's owner, Judi Pescione, in lieu of a hearing.
"From our analysis of the incident, it appears to be discrimination based on gender expression and gender identity," Gunner Scott, executive director of the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) said.
