Transgender person sues NYPD for discrimination.

I'm not surprised.  A lot of the larger cities are filled with corruption.  Los Angeles, New Orleans, Miami, Chicago.  And New York is no exception.

 

I fee like too many bad cops are popping up these days and not much is being done about it.

 

But, NYPD is STILL better than the Albuquerque Police Department, imo.

at first i was like "eh the dudes just being a show-off" but then as i read on i was like holy funk. transgender people still have a rocky road to go down but soon itll be paved over from the help of other people. here in Canada things arent so bad (at least not that i know of) but hell the US has got it pretty bad i can guess, though i can really only hope that my guess is wrong.

Yeah no.  We face a sheet ton of discrimination (I face it basically every day at college.)  And, well, you can't really tell anyone because no one gives a sheet.  You're on your own unless you've got a group of friends to help stick up for you, and even then finding actual friends to do that irl sucks major dick.

god thats horrible, i do know your pain though, i remember opening up a pink hoodie that i always wanted on my Birthday and while i was wearing it outside that day some guys passing by in a car were yelling at me couldnt hear what they were saying at first since i had my music on but after they pulled over i could hear loud and clear one of them yelling "go to the gym you funking baka" at first i didnt get it but then i remembered that i had my brand new pink hoodie on, that was the only time that something like that happened though. i may not be a transgender but you and every other trans person out there gets my full support, ill probably have to face more sheet from people once i move on from pink hoodies and go all out crossdressing.

Mmm.

 

I really don't have many problems come up by way of, well, people making fun of me, harassing me (though I have been sexually harassed before), or outright hitting me.  That's probably due to me blending in fairly well; however, the main discrimination comes from people who actually know; as in, the people who have seen me before I came out and transitioned (June 2015!!) or those who have to see my identification (which still reads my birth name and has an old picture on it.)  It's creepy that simply the fact that people know is enough to judge you; unlike other things, there's nothing you can do about it concerning your attitude or outside appearances.  So what do you do?  Why, you act like the man here.  You have to fight tooth and nail to show people that they cannot put you down like that.

 

It's a trained prejudice that, unfortunately, many people have.  There's not a whole lot you can do against that but fight it.
