Folks complain about people in Chicago sometimes, but I think that while we're not the friendliest lot, we're pretty friendly. And being from the midwest we can smell horse **** a mile away.

Scary.

When it comes to LEO and someones gender, I would assume LE will be forced to recognize whatever gender the offender claims to be. Otherwise they could face lawsuits and public backlash if they ever tried to place a transgender male into a female jail section and vice versa.

I think Pres. Trump wanted to do that but the COURTS ruled that he can't.

This law helps eliminate the information gap between applicants and employers. Most employers will not tell you the full salary range for a position, giving you limited information with which to negotiate, but they insist on knowing your previous salaries, so they can base the offer on what they think you will take. Most people I know have either undercut themselves by suggesting a salary below the prevailing wage, or illuminated themselves by setting their salary requirements too high, in an effort to prevent being low-balled, at least ONCE in their careers. Accepting one lowball offer can lock person into below-market wages for the rest of their career, because we’re not supposed to talk about salary.

No need to be so dramatic, I'm venting.

You're talking about a different scenario, though. I'm talking about a report being filed with the police by a victim and the police looking for a woman, even though the birth certificate has the offender recorded as a male. I think this is going to make it harder for LEO's to find offenders.

Yes, i see what you are saying, but really, if everyone else is legally forced to recognize their choice, LE should be no different, even if that means a huge inconvenience for them.

Plus, the trans could use this to their advantage in attempting to avoid being caught by police.
