A hair salon in the American Midwest has been found to have broken anti-discrimination law after posting a message telling transgender customers to stay away, reportedly suggesting they visit a dog groomer instead. The case stemmed from a Facebook post by the salon and led to a lawsuit, highlighting ongoing legal disputes in the US over whether businesses can refuse or discourage service to transgender clients.

Details of the specific salon, its location and the exact wording of the post were not fully provided in the available article text, though the case centres on a Facebook post and subsequent legal action. The ruling underscores that such refusals of service based on gender identity can fall foul of anti-discrimination statutes in the jurisdiction concerned.
