The customer says she was harassed by a McDonald's manager.
PAULSBORO -- A transgender woman says she was harassed by a manager when she used the women's restroom in a Gloucester County McDonald's, according to a report on NBC10.com.
Delaware resident Misty Hill, who told NBC that she lives as a woman, said the restaurant manager followed her into the restroom and confronted her, asking her if she was a man.
Hill said she was wearing cargo pants and wasn't wearing makeup at the time. She claims the manager told her, "You don't belong here."
NBC10 spoke to the store manager, who said she didn't harass Hill and had acted after the parent of a girl using the restroom expressed concern that Hill had spoken to her daughter in the restroom.
Hlll said she didn't speak to a young girl at the restaurant.
She took to Twitter to discuss her case and call on McDonald's to release security camera footage from her time in the restaurant.
President Barack Obama recently took on the issue of transgender restroom access in schools. His administration directed school districts to allow students to use the restroom that corresponds to their gender identity. Eleven states are suing the Obama administration over the issue.
Attention @McDonalds @Reachout_mcd Your manager came in the restroom and harassed me three times while I was using it
