This Man Was Pulled Over. He’s A Transgender Woman. Now The Entire Police Department May Have To Undergo Sensitivity Training.

You might ask, why is the Fort Lauderdale, Florida Citizens Police Review Board forcing the entire Fort Lauderdale Police Department to undergo additional training on how to properly treat transgender people?

Here’s why: In January, police officer James Brinton pulled over a person named Shelby Kendall for reckless driving in a Camaro. Although Kendall’s driver’s license lists Kendall as female, Brinton changed the traffic citation to list Kendall as male. When he asked Kendall why the driver’s license said Kendall was female, Kendall insisted on an identity as a female, according to the police investigation of Kendall’s complaint.
