"Even if the Employment Non-Discrimination Act will move forward without the transgender segment of the LGBT community, the District's transgender residents did score a victory yesterday. D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier issued a department general order on how transgender citizens should be treated by MPD officers when placed under arrest."
Soto spent two nights among the male population before a doctor determined she was indeed female. She was not transgender to begin with, however.
Wow, second time this week I have read about a butch type female getting clocked as trans and this one was not once, but twice becuase her previous arrest record showed she was male then as well.
