Well, that doesn’t happen every day
I know nothing about the psychology of transgendered persons, at all. However, I think that it’s pretty safe to say they may have a few emotional problems, particularly when they shoot at people:
Philadelphia’s first transgender police officer is in a lot of trouble after she is accused of shooting near another officer during firearm’s training.

Gonzalez, 57, is scheduled for a sex change operation next summer. She takes hormones and other medication.
Back then, Gonzalez told NBC 10 in January that she notified her police department about her life change and her officers were supportive.
“All I ask is that they tolerate me and accept me,” she said then.
Gonzalez is accused of mishandling firearms and putting other officers in danger.
According to sources, Gonzalez was training other officers at the police academy firing range Friday night when she got into an argument with Officer Marie Schmidt, a 17-year veteran of the force.
Gonzalez allegedly took Schmidt’s gun out of her hand and fired a round at the ground, then fired another down range.
Noting the dangers of firing into the ground, police reassigned Gonzalez and she was checked into a hospital for evaluation.
I’m not saying being a transgendered person necessarily denotes a predisposition to violence or emotional problems, but I have to wonder why this person would be an armed public servant since she seems a bit unstable.

any person taking hormones or who has large amount of hormones is unstable.
that pretty much means all women and any transgendered person because they were either at one time a women or want to become on

I would think that any one who was transgendered would be, by definition, unstable. It doesn’t mean they are a danger to themselves or someone else, or that they aren’t functional, but it isn’t healthy.

Say what?
I guarantee this is not the only unstable armed public servant, female or male or transgender (female to male, male to female).

I agree s/he’s not the only one but i’m thinking that such a person would have some emotional issues.
