A transgender woman has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against several officials with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department after she was allegedly forced to expose her genitals while being booked in to jail and on two other occasions housed with male inmates.

According to the recent complaint filed in a Dallas U.S. District Court, plaintiff Valerie Jackson was born male but lives as a transgender woman and had her gender legally changed to female. Jackson was arrested and brought to Dallas County jail in 2016 after she forgot to remove a firearm from her bag before going to the airport.
