"It has been almost three years since The Advocate asked if the New York City Police Department has an endemic problem with transgender people. Now, in the case of at least one trans man from Harlem, that problem has not been fixed.

Marlow White, a 51 year old African American transgender father of four daughters filed a $2 million federal lawsuit on August 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. White claims the NYPD discriminated against him based on his gender identity, after he sought help following threatening alleged attacks by his neighbor, Napoleon Monroe, according to a September 4 Huffington Post report."
