However, Lawrence gave the user a befitting reply, If you name a shop as ‘Kumar food hut’, does that mean it is only for Kumars?
Another user wrote ‘Why not write transgender?!? If people can write the name of their communities, Bengalis, Madeas tiffin, etc, why can’t a transgender person proudly proclaim their identity in their store?! Kentucky Fried Chicken isn’t only for people in Kentucky’
