New GPO Concerning Interactions with Transgender, Intersex, and Gender Non-conforming Individuals

The City of Cleveland recently proposed a new General Police Order to provide clarity to officers on how to interact with transgender, intersex, and gender non-conforming (TIGN) individuals.
 
The Community Police Commission has, for the past few years, recommended that the City adopt such a policy, as it is necessary to improve the relationship between Cleveland Division of Police officers and TIGN Clevelanders. With this policy now drafted, we want to get the community's feedback on it.

Attached below is a copy of the draft GPO; it is 4 pages long. If you could take a few moments and read over it, then answer some questions it would be greatly appreciated. Your voice is essential to making positive change in Cleveland.
