The first out transgender detective in the NYPD, Ori Harbor, is sharing his story and describing the ups and downs and the challenges he has faced.
NEW YORK -- The first out transgender detective in the NYPD is sharing his story and describing the ups and downs and the challenges he has faced."I was the amazing middle child," Harbor said."He actually joined the Marines out of high school...my whole life I was trying to emulate my brother.""I went to Brooklyn College, got my MFA in acting and after I graduated, I ended up staying in New York," Harbor said.
"It is definitely monumental, we have other trans in department who aren't out, but for me it's important to be visible," Harbor said. The NYPD now has a transgender policy providing support to officers and Harbor hosts informational seminars, trying to educate others."Ten to fifteen years from now, I hope transgender issues won't be a thing, because we are living in a world that is equal and fair, and right now, in regard to transgender protection and rights and laws, we're not there yet."
