More details to this question:
The clerk at the hotel check-in desk at a fairly nice hotel treated me very nicely but when my trans girlfriend arrived he treated her very rudely and questioned her about her identity multiple times. She's very offended and she's never been treated like this before. Should I contact a lawyer? I've contacted their management and we're taking further action, but I feel having a lawyer would be the best choice as far as taking this seriously.

Usually the courts do not compensate anyone for "hurt feelings." On the other hand, if she developed serious mental problems as a result and was seeing a psychiatrist, then you might seek damages for the psy bills. Unfortunately, people are rude to about anyone.
