FULL TITLE: Grandmother, 55, sues Miami prison after staff book her as a MAN despite strip search and lock her up in a male jail with 40 men who taunted and leered at her
A grandmother who was mistakenly booked into Miami jail as man is now she's suing prison workers who forced her to spend nearly 10 hours in a male cell where she was so tormented she wet herself.
Fior Pichardo de Veloz, 55, was booked in the Metro West Detention Center in Miami on November 4, 2013.
Pichardo was an attorney and elected official in the Dominican Republic and came to Miami to witness the birth of her grandchild.
But her plans went awry when she was arrested at the airport for an old drug case she didn't know was outstanding, according to the Miami Herald.
After a strip-search she was classified as a woman, but the jail doctor and nurse wrongly booked her as a man, claiming she was transgender with male genitalia.
They saw her menopause pills and Dr. Fredesvindo Rodriguez-Garcia and nurse Fatu Kamara Harris wrongly thought she was taking hormone tablets because she was transgender.
The decision went against the arresting officer who listed Pichardo as female and against a female officer strip search, where her private areas were examined.

My temperament keeps changing around here lately!!
I am brutally hostile to the left and then sometimes brutally hostile to someone on the right I don’t agree with and then sometimes hostile to everyone!!
I think I’M going through menopause!! :)
Yes, not unusual.
I think the context of the last paragraph was that the defendants had their 'heads in the sand'.
“Struthious”. Could they possibly mean the offending officers were like ostriches with their heads in the sand? Not able to see what was in front of their eyes?
Except that the cops said female and it was the doctor/nurse who said male.

soo who’s looking for a new career?
Hahaha, it sounds like we’re very similar. See my comment immediately above. :-)
This is depressing.
I will self-identify from now on as an interstellar gron. Prove me wrong.
No she doesn’t.
And never did.
It doesn't say that in this article.
If you got this from the AP story, you omitted these lines:
Later, after her family complained, two corrections nurses performed an exam and told supervisors that Pichardo was a female. Pichardo’s family [her three children] and her lawyer, Kubiliun, both said there is no way that the first nurse really examined her at the jail.
So you appear to be mistaken. She is a woman.
Never find anything you say offensive.
But my bar is pretty high :)
Buona notte!!
Probably the doctor, the nurse, and whoever is in charge of the facility as a whole.
Also (having finally read the whole article) the officers at Turner Guilford Knight who mocked her and took a picture.
I think you’ve got it. Though I doubt whether more than one reader in ten thousand would know what it meant without looking it up.
Buona notte.
I hope you and your family have a fantastic Sunday Gravy dinner lined tomorrow. I’m half Italian myself and luuuvvvv Sunday Gravy, my favorite thing since childhood!
You’re paesano!!
We’re practically brothers :)
Enjoy your Sunday too bro.
Most likely, the writer had lots of time before deadline to research ostriches to find that word.
Imagine if he were looking a word synonymous with 'head up their ass.'
“I seem to rub everybody here wrong sooner or later”
I feel hurt. You haven’t taken the time to rub me wrong yet. /lol
Lol, thank goodness! And I hope I never do! Cheers!
Mrs. Don-o
You are an easy one for them to fool.
MrEdd:
“No she doesn’t.
And never did.”
I can only take this as your direct observation. Yuck.
