lgbt Transgender Non-binary teen ‘humiliated’ after Monsoon staff ‘kick them out of changing room’
Birmingham kicked them out of the changing rooms.Charlie Moore, 18, was shopping for the perfect outfit for their school prom and was hoping to try on a few gowns at the branch in Grand Central.But what was meant to be a magical moment quickly turned ugly.Moments after the sixth form pupil entered the changing rooms, a Monsoon staff member allegedly told them to get out as ‘the store did not allow men in there’, even though the cubicles were not labelled by gender.Charlie claimed the employee stated ‘they were getting complaints from women with children’.Speaking to Metro.co.uk after the incident, they said: ‘What happened made me feel very unwanted – like Monsoon didn’t want my business, which I suppose is true.‘It was humiliating. You know, it takes a lot of courage for someone who is not traditionally feminine presenting to go to a store and try on dresses, for then to be told “you’re not welcome”.
