Flint Paul became a San Francisco police officer in 1995, with a female birth name and identity. But Paul had identified as male since childhood, started telling other officers that in the early 2000s, and made it official in 2006, when he underwent surgery, filed documents with his new name and moved to the men’s locker room.
