A transgender woman alleges that she was thrown out of a Florida nightclub after she used the women’s restroom.
Piper Ayers said she and her friends went to the Dixie Roadhouse in Cape Coral on Friday expecting “to have a little fun,” according to NBC affiliate WBBH of Fort Myers.
Dixie Roadhouse’s website, which says the club was voted the No. 1 nightclub in all of Southwest Florida, describes it as a “country-themed party-bar” that offers to teach patrons how to line dance for free.
A sign at the entrance says, “If you are racist, sexist, homophobic, or just a jerk… don’t come in." Despite that message, Ayers said, she was confronted by security after she used the women’s restroom.
When her friend TJ Jackson asked why Ayers wasn't permitted to use that restroom, security guards said they "don't allow men to use the women's restrooms," Jackson told WBBH.
