The Silo of Police Identity
Jillian: Some police maybe not all but some of them think of their identity as police officers as being sort of seemingly equivalent to being a lesbian or being a trans person. I'd love to hear you talk about like what what police identity means or feels like and why that seems to be such a sticking point for these queer cops because they really do seem to sort of think of them in the same headspace somehow. People don't identify as police officers but there is a very closed tight knit culture that functions as a second family, Jillian says.
