HPD's Trans Cop

The Houston Police Department has had a long and rocky history at times with the TBLG community.

They have come a long way from the days where harassment was the norm under Chief Herman Short and it took a lawsuit by a transwoman to stop it to transpeople now becoming a part of HPD.
