"Transgender criminal suspects can demand that cops call them by their adopted names, choose whether male or female officers frisk them and get a personal, private ride to court under new policies unveiled by Boston police Commissioner Edward F. Davis yesterday.
...The policies require cops to:
• “address transgender individuals by the individual’s adopted name ... even if the individual has not received legal recognition of the adopted name”
• “respectfully ask the individual” when they are “uncertain about which pronouns are appropriate”
• ask transgender suspects whether they prefer a frisk by male or female officers.-
