Cop facing discipline after ‘mis-gendering’ transgender person on driving ticket
One Fort Lauderdale police officer is facing disciplinary action after he “mis-gendered” a transgender person on a reckless driving ticket issued in late January.
“I wasn’t really contesting why I was pulled over,” Kendall said. “I was more contesting how I was treated.”
“If I’ve done everything I need to do for the state of Florida to recognize me as a female, he doesn’t have a right to purposely mis-gender me,” Kendall said of the police officer. “It was inappropriate and kind of bullying and sends a message to the transgender community.”
But according to Brinton, he wasn’t trying to bully the 48-year-old Fort Lauderdale resident. Instead, the officer said he believed the driver’s license information showing Kendall as female was a mistake, so he listed Kendall as male.
Kendall objected to the identification, but Brinton stood his ground.
“Well, for the purposes of this citation, you’re a male,” Brinton told Kendall, according to a police report.
Police investigators have suggested Brinton receive a written reprimand, but it is up to the city manager to make the final decision on how the officer will be disciplined.

A few weeks ago I was making a delivery to what I would have bet was a man, even going so far to address this person as sir-----twice. Turns out she was a woman.
The cop was wrong to assume that the info on the license was incorrect and a "warning letter" would be an appropriate form of discipline.

Snowflake cop was too lazy to change the ticket so the gender matches the license?
The arrogance! Turn him over to BLM, they'll teach him!
Just hit me that "operational needs" could apply to a pre-op trans!

Why would black lives matter care about a pissing contest between two arrogant white people?
Caring about arrogant white people, especially cops, seems to be their thing.

My wife is a Social Worker at an 'alternative' high school in Boston (by 'alternative', I mean: last chance to graduate HS at all...some of these 'kids' are twenty years old and have kids of their own)...
Anyway, the staff at my wife's school held an election discussion last year, and to a person, these underserved 'kids' said that the election was basically 'WHITE PEOPLE NONSENSE'.
The outcome of the election, for these disadvantaged young adults, had literally no meaning at all.
Forget Trump or Clinton, there is an entire population of American Citizens for whom elections are meaningless.
Go Team!?

I can see why it's meaningless to them; most will be dead within a few years.
