Kylie Jack, a transgender woman, recently bought bras at the close clothing store petticoat fair in Austin, Texas-
Then posted on her facebook page, an employee \"humiliated\" her by asking for an \"ID\" indicating she was a woman.
The employee then told Jack that she \"needed the bottom surgery to get the accessories . \".
Kirk Andrews, the owner of the dress fair, issued an apology.
He has met Jack since then.
But as Jezebel\'s Kat Callahan points out, apologies are full of backward language even with sincere hints.
First of all, there are suggestions that it is a \"subtle challenge\" to allow transgender women to enter the dressing room because the impostor, that is, the male who may pretend to be a transgender woman.
I \'ve never seen anyone force into the locker room.
In fact, the crime blog tells us that the creepy surveillance team behind the camera actually poses a bigger threat.
For most women, buying a bra is to keep away from the humiliation of a bra.
Unless it is a delicate lace underwear that is not suitable for daily wear, bra shopping is certainly not a activity for many women --trans or cis --actually enjoy.
A survey of 10,000 women by Swiss lingerie company Triumph found that 64% of women were wearing the wrong bra size.
29% of women know they\'re wearing the wrong size.
Although they admit that uncomfortable bras sometimes ruin their day, there is still nothing to do about it.

You wait when she puts the endless bra on your chest to measure the size of your cup.
She feels the side chest, the waterfall of the breast, may escape through the top.
You may wear 10 bras before you feel fit.
That\'s why it\'s particularly sad when stories like this become News: Secret staff about Victoria wrote a Craigslist post to make fun of the \"fat girl\" who tried on a bra in the store \".
When I was 15, my breasts were almost going to stand out and I would tie them to my chest with leotards.
Because when you\'re so big, you won\'t even ask for the right accessories.
Even if the breasts float out of the top, you push them into C desperately.
In the process, I relaxed my shoulders to disguise my huge breasts and destroyed my lower back.
Even after the 23-year-old breast shrinks, the bra-
The shame of shopping is holding me back.
I \'ve been wearing a sports bra for years, just to avoid explaining to the avid bra fitter that I don\'t know my size.
I hardly get better now.
I bought a bra at Gap online because in-
Shop bra shopping process so anxious-producing. (OK.
I think it\'s time to install it. )
For a transgender woman, her first purchase of a bra should be an exciting moment in a woman\'s life, a small but important ceremony in a woman\'s life.
Maybe if we all look at bra shopping in this way of celebration, we can get rid of this shame forever.
Of course we can get support.
