This is crazy. Mineshaft has been there forever (I’ve lived in LB a long time) and never heard of behavior from their staff like this. Really disappointed to see this and sorry you had to go through this. If you still feel like going out in Long Beach next time, I really suggest Sweetwater right down the road. I know that it’s marketed as a lesbian bar, but it really does have all kinds of queer folks in there and is a safe space.

Any gay bar or club I’ve been to the bathrooms were always non-conforming. So weird that this would happen in a queer space but also, that’s illegal in California.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. He clearly knows nothing about guest resolution. It took him way too long to apologize. Every conversation like this should be started with an apology.

Good for you for standing against this and saying something and I’m so sorry you even had to do that. This was supposed to be a safe space for you. And this person saying it’s “not directed at you” is such a cop out WHAT?! It’s not directed at you?! It happened to you?! They need to take accountability. This is so dangerous, this is so wrong. Bathrooms for us trans people, is one of our most vulnerable times, we all have so much trauma from this. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR SEPARATE ACCOMMODATIONS AND TO BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY?! What the hail?! That is so wrong!!!!

YOU ARE SO VALID. This is actually infuriating. “The sign the sign”. How many times can you say that you couldn’t see the sign?!?! They are clearly not listening to you.

Its weird to have a "no locking" policy on a bathroom but I can ALMOST understand. Bursting in instead of knocking is insane. Then to find one person on the toilet means an apology is NEEDED.

Anything less than the employee coming out to personally apologize to you is unacceptable

This is insane, I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I do feel your voice breaking from the frustration and anger. I feel so angry that this behavior still exists within our community.
