New York City police officers mocked a transgender woman by putting her in pink handcuffs — then slapping her with a “false personation” charge, a new lawsuit charges.

Three cops stopped Linda Dominguez as she was walking home through Claremont Park in the Bronx at 11:45 p.m. April 18, 2018, according to court papers.

Dominguez, who is Hispanic, told police she only spoke limited English and gave them her previous male name before she changed it in court because cops had asked for her prior name during a previous arrest. She also provided her address and birth date.

When she arrived at the police precinct, she gave her current legal name and explained her gender identity, the suit says.

That’s where an officer named Megan Francis secured Dominguez to a bar in a cell using pink handcuffs, according to the Bronx Supreme Court filing.

“Ms. Dominguez saw other people in the precinct in handcuffs, but none of those handcuffs were pink,” the suit states. “Ms. Dominguez saw no other handcuffs that were any other color than the standard metal handcuff.”

“Officer Francis used pink handcuffs on Ms. Dominguez and kept her handcuffed while in her cell solely because Ms. Dominguez is transgender and for no legitimate law enforcement purpose,” according to court papers.

The cosmetologist, who has gender dysphoria — an impairment related to an incongruence between identity and assigned sex at birth — says the cops referred to her as “he” and “him” even though they knew she identified as a woman.

“Other officers kept Ms. Dominguez in pink handcuffs overnight and repeatedly mocked and misgendered her because they had animus towards her based on her transgender status,” the suit says.

She was charged with criminal trespass for walking in the park after dark and “false personation” — when someone knowingly lies about personal information to a police officer to evade being identified. The charges were tossed in August.

“Ms. Dominguez was humiliated by the harassment and discrimination she experienced during her arrest and detention” and continues to feel embarrassed and fearful of the police, her suit says.

She’s suing for unspecified damages, arguing that the NYPD Patrol Guide specifically bars officers from charging transgender people with false personation for giving a chosen name instead of a legal name.

Dominguez, who is represented by attorneys from the New York Civil Liberties Union, says the NYPD acknowledged in a 2017 report that its training related to transgender people is “inadequate.”

An NYPD spokeswoman declined to comment on the case but said the department has worked to improve its relationship with the LGBTQ community.
