This has wide ranging implications- I successfully argued NYPD’s discriminatory treatment of a trans man arrested at Occupy is subject to heightened scrutiny, making precedent in the policing context.
This opinion also opens the door wide open to police violence & discrimination against trans ppl.

And that no court ruling has ever stopped police violence against trans & queer people.
Just pointing out that whatever pretense that discriminatory policing of trans people is subject to heightened scrutiny is gone.
But I assure you this will be cited to justify discrimination in policing
The bottom line:
We must fight in solidarity with trans youth on all fronts. Every day.
