Trans woman arrested in Baltimore riots, jailed among men - NY Daily News

Trans woman arrested in Baltimore riots, jailed among men - NY Daily News: “They took away her bra. You can see she has breasts,” Seddiq said. “She’s a woman.”
A glass panel separated Venable from one of Seddiq’s attorneys on Thursday evening. The two spoke of the other inmates “ogling” at her naked body through a small window after being told to strip for an intake search.
The guards are “taunting” her, too, Venable has claimed. Because of Maryland’s state of emergency, the correctional guards overseeing her time in custody can apparently get away with mistreatment.
“The whole situation is degrading,” one of the firm’s four attorneys, Astrid Munn, told The News.
Their client, who is 30 years old, has lived a majority of her life as a woman, transitioning as at age 14 while attending Baltimore County Public Schools. She graduated in 2002.
