A clothing-optional spa in California has sparked outrage among transgender protestors after one trans visitor said she was told to cover up during 'Lady's Night.'

'It's exclusion. It's discrimination. It goes against everything that I came here for,' Breath Mormorer, who joined demonstration outside the Russian-style bathhouse Archimedes Banya in San Francisco, told CBS News.

'I came from Alabama specifically to escape that type of prejudice and hate. And I got here and I found out this city has just as much of it,' she added.

The spa offers one women-only night and one men-only night each month. On its website, the spa said the events are designed to 'shelter religious preferences' of men and women in the community.

'To further accommodate their religious beliefs we have to limit admission on [both nights] to sex assigned at birth,' the site explains. A protester named Jordan told CBS News that the spa's policy 'set off some alarm bells for me.'

'In a lot of pre-Christian Slavic cultures there was a lot of, gender and sexuality was much more fluid... and it was put down by the Christians,' said Jordan, noting she is of Slavic origin.

'But even without all that, there are a lot of Catholic, Orthodox Jewish and Muslim people who are trans allies if not trans themselves.'

In response, the spa released a statement announcing an 'Inclusive Women's Night' for all individuals who identify as women, regardless of sex assigned at birth.
