World renown brand and fast fashion clothing retailer recently made the grave mistake of discriminating a trans woman her right to try on garments in the female fitting room.
The incident was documented and became viral on Marasigan’s (@luismarasigan) TikTok account as she talked about her experience at the Zara outlet in Bonifacio Global City, a mall in Manilla, Philippines.

In the video, Marasigan showed the pile of clothes she was paying for at the counter and said that she was unable to try them on because an employee had prohibited her to use the women’s dressing room.
The employee also pointed Marasigan to the men’s fitting room instead, adding that staff were receiving complaints about her being there.
