Native Transgender Woman Denied Food at Christian Shelter Because She Was Wearing Dress

Isabella Red Cloud, a Native transgender woman who identifies as Two Spirit was asked to leave the Union Gospel Mission of Sioux Falls, South Dakota because she was wearing a dress. As she was being escorted from the facility, a staff member identified in the video as “Don” told Red Cloud she would have to leave because she was “dressed inappropriately,” and that she could not come back until she “dressed like a man.”

Red Cloud returned the next day with a few friends and was again asked to leave. Again recording the incident on her phone, she was cited by police with illegal trespassing and was given a citation.
