OMG! Niagara police officer asks trans woman for ‘deadname’ while questioning her filming at bus terminal

Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) says it is reviewing an incident from Dec. 17, after an officer asked a transgender woman for her “deadname.”

It comes after the woman, Sabrina Hill, posted a video of the incident on social media.

Hill, a prominent local LGBTQ activist and licensed paralegal, told CBC Hamilton she posted the video “to highlight the very real experiences a lot of trans, queer and non-binary people experience when being policed here in the Niagara Region.”
