Washington was homeless and needed help when she showed up April 3 at the John L. Young Shelter for Women. But instead of help, because she is a girl like us she got denied entry.
An unidentified female employee at the shelter located three blocks from the US Capitol building asked Washington, "Are you a woman or a man," the lawsuit says. "Ms. Washington replied, 'I'm a transgender woman.' The employee then asked Ms. Washington if she had any documentation, to which Ms. Washington replied that she did not."
The lawsuit says the employee then told Ms. Washington, "We don't do transgenders here. You have to leave."
