A transgender woman in Surrey has described how staff at a Sainsbury's supermarket told her to use the disabled toilets instead of the women's facility.

Stephanie Collins, 55, told the Surrey Herald that she used the women's toilets but as she came out, a staff member stopped her and told her she should not use them.
