Hearing the background garners less sympathy now.
WOW - what a mistake! Glad she’s suing - I’m sure she tried to make it known they were making a big mistake but apparently they knew better. Guess they know better now! Good for her.
Hahahaha... They identified her as a man. That’s what happens when you let people identify themselves as one or the other. Other people, and institutions, can play that game and will.

I relatively attractive 55 year old woman must have been OUT OF HER MIND TERRIFIED FOR 10 HOURS.
And the sad part is this will change NOTHING.
What I AM happy about is the lawsuit. And I am RARELY happy with a lawsuit.
The pockets are all bureaucrats care about.
But then, even the lawsuit money is really ours.

“...Pichardo has male sexual reproductive organs.”
He’s a guy.
Me and a friend thought we’d go visit a guy in the Miami jail, in the ‘80s. We got to the waiting room, looked in, and said “F*** this. “ If the waiting room is that bad, imagine the inmates.
