#Court #document filed by #Philadelphia #police in #JoshKruger #murder #case contains #wording offensive to the #trans #community.

Historically, using “he/she” and “him/her” for a trans person has been used pejoratively by police. For instance, #NizahMorris was represented on a #police #report as having two #genders, though she identifies as #female.
