Girl was asked to leave McDonalds for using women's washroom

The 16-year-old said she was thrown out and the police were called on her.

Ny, who was visiting the branch in Hull, Yorkshire, said: “I ordered my food and left it with my girlfriend as I went to the toilet.

"When I was in there, someone told me to get out and when I sat back down, the manager came over and told me that I needed to leave because I have been in the girls’ toilet.

"I said to him, ‘Why do I need to leave? I’m a girl, can you not tell by my voice?’

"He then asked me to show some ID, but when I didn’t have any he told me to get out and he rang the police.”

Ny said she was “humiliated in front of the whole restaurant” by the employee, adding: “I think his attitude was disgusting and I’m still angry about it now.”

McDonald’s said Ny was part of a disruptive group who went to the branch and who were asked to leave after causing problems on Tuesday.

Police confirmed they were called to the outlet after a group of youths Ny was with became involved in an “altercation” with staff.

Her mother Leigh Richardson defended her daughter, saying: “She is who she is and people need to accept that.

"She shouldn’t have to justify herself to anybody.”

McDonald’s said: “We can confirm a group of individuals were asked to leave our St Andrew’s Quay restaurant, following several complaints about inappropriate behaviour.
