Given that the answer could either be “A” or “B” it would have been interesting to know what guidance the police officer could have possibly given that would not have resulted in a complaint.
“Take your pick?” — complaint for sure.
“Don’t press either?” — complaint for sure.
“Your most recent gender?” — complaint for sure.
“Your original gender?” — complaint for sure.
“Our test doesn’t allow for Transsexuals?” — complaint and riot for sure.
There was nothing this officer could have done to avoid this. His attempt at humor was probably the best move in an unwinnable situation.
I'm developing a more defined understanding of personal liberty and freedom, the right to protect them, and which caliber is best to accomplish the task.
