Judge Allows Testimony in Transgender Case

     (CN) - A magistrate judge in Manhattan refused to block a law professor's testimony in the case of a transgender lesbian who was arrested at the Republican National Convention and claims New York City's law enforcement officers "subject transgender individuals to invasive, overly intrusive searches in order to ascertain their genital status."
     Kaitlyn Tikkun sued the city, the New York Police Department and the New York City Department of Correction, claiming she experienced this treatment first-hand after she was arrested with about 1,800 other demonstrators at the 2004 convention.
