Charity Worker Trans Woman Booted From Hospital

A transgender woman giving free hair styles to elderly patients in a Russian hospital says she was kicked out after she refused to wash off her makeup.

The shocking incident took place in the city of Yekaterinburg in western Russia's Sverdlovsk Oblast region where the transgender hairstylist known as Martha agreed to give a hand at a free hair styling session with elderly people as part of the Day of the Elderly person.

The event was organised by the Red Riding-hood charity organisation, and Martha claims she wanted to make sure in advance that they will be content with her candidacy.
