Updated Nov. 3: Revised to include statement from Dodie's Place.

A Collin County restaurant has found itself mired in controversy over bathroom doors that critics say are transphobic.

The door displays at Dodie's Place Cajun Bar & Grill in Allen were installed in mid-August, according to the restaurant's Facebook page.

The women's restroom door is the image of Caitlyn Jenner publicly debuting as a transgender woman from the cover of Vanity Fair, while the men's room door is a photo of Jenner competing at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal as a man.

The door displays went up in mid-August, and Dodie's Place Cajun Bar & Grill hasn't commented on whether they will be removed.

After The Daily Dot published an article calling the images "incredibly insensitive," supporters of the restaurant took to Facebook and Twitter to say that the doors were just a joke and that people offended by them should go elsewhere.

Others, however, were quick to call out the doors as distasteful and denigrating toward transgender people — including Jess Herbst. Herbst, a transgender woman, is the mayor of New Hope, a small town about 10 miles north of Dodie's.

Dodie's representatives have not commented on whether the door displays will remain, but owner Kyle McPherson — who uses a different name on Facebook — posted that the pictures "FINALLY" got the media's attention.

In a statement Thursday, the restaurant called the displays weren't intended to offend anyone and were "a lighthearted gesture to push back against the political correctness that seems to have a stranglehold on this country right now."

"We believe that political correctness has done more to silence rather than encourage important discussions that our society probably needs to have," the statement says. "Based on the mind-boggling feedback, both positive and negative, people are having that discussion."

The statement goes on to decry name-calling and says the restaurant is ready to discuss the topic "and move forward as a community."
