JACKSON, N. J. — A New Jersey woman was turned away from Six Flags Great Adventure last month for wearing a V-neck T-shirt and cut-off jeans, described by a security guard as "inappropriate" and "against park rules."

According to a Seventeen.com report, 22-year-old Bina Ramesh was returning from the parking lot to the park -- she forgot something in her car -- when security guards asked her to change her outfit.

"I was so upset and angry," Ramesh told Seventeen.com. "My mother saw me leave the house this morning and she didn't think it was inappropriate. And how could I have been let in earlier that day by a female guard? Now suddenly the rules have changed when there's a male guard paying closer attention to my cleavage?"

When Ramesh pointed out a parkgoer wearing a T-shirt with holes near his nipples, the guard allegedly said: "It's different. He's a boy and doesn't have boobs"

In response, Ramesh swapped shirts with her male friend -- trading the V-neck shirt for an orange crewneck T-shirt. They entered without issue and soon switched clothing again.

Six Flags Great Adventure's official dress code policy only includes language banning items with "offensive language," including profanity, support of drugs or drug use, graphic violence, promotion of discrimination or gang symbols.

"What they did to me was unfair," Ramesh said. "I want them to face the consequences for how they made me feel. They made me feel like I was inferior to a man because I was not allowed to wear the same thing as a man."

Six Flags eventually responded to Ramesh, according to an Aug. 1 Facebook post.

"Our goal is for all of our guests to have a fun visit and we understand this was not the case for you. Our team members are trained, and then asked to use their judgement in carrying out our policies," Ramesh wrote, quoting a letter from the park.

"These particular officers did not use good judgement and there is no reason you should have been denied entry," the letter stated.

In the Facebook post, Ramesh said she would return to the park despite the incident.

"My intent on sharing this story was to receive acknowledgement from the park that I was unjustly treated and to prevent this type of situation from occurring in the future, which seems to have been accomplished," Ramesh wrote. "This experience shed a light on a serious improper judgement and training of policies to the park officers."
