June 23, 2005 -- A Queens police officer has rocked the NYPD with an announcement that he is becoming a she - the first known transsexual cop in New York City.
"Everyone's been very supportive, and I'm very happy about it," said a smiling Officer June Lo, who, until earlier this week, was known as Officer John Lo.
"It's taken courage, but I'm very pleased," Lo told The Post on the way to work last night at the Queens Transit Task Force, wearing a white sleeveless blouse, tan cargo pants and sneakers, and hair in a ponytail.
Declining to comment further, the 31-year-old Lo said that at some point in the future, "I will make a statement" about the transition from man to woman.
Lo revealed the gender-bending decision Tuesday night during a roll call of Queens Transit Task Force cops.
When Lo's name was called out by the sergeant, the cop asked to address the assembled officers and was granted permission.
"He said, 'This is the way things are now. My name is June Lo. I've legally changed it from John to June,' " said a Queens transit cop familiar with the situation.
Lo also told the other cops that she had been taking female hormones in preparation for undergoing surgery to completely become a woman.
The hormones have enabled the slight, 5-foot-4 Asian-American officer to noticeably grow breasts over the past several months. In addition to that change, officers have seen the freckle-faced Lo grow fingernails and hair long, and wear earrings in both ears.
"He's been like this for a while," the Queens cop said. "He's been transforming into a woman for a long time."
"You don't know, in street clothes, if he's a male or a woman," said the cop.
Lo told the other officers at roll call that if they had any questions about the process, they could either ask then or later privately.
The cops, most of whom were aware that Lo was in the process of becoming a female, burst into applause at the announcement by eight-year veteran.
"Some guys asked, 'Can we still call you J.Lo?' He said, 'Yeah,' " said one cop, noting that Lo had affectionately has been known by that nickname for some time.
Lo was "totally open and not . . . scared or whatever" during the announcement, the cop said.
Helping Lo was the fact that "everyone seems to like him," the cop said.
Officials said Lo is the first known person ever to undergo gender reassignment in NYPD history.
"His captain had no idea that this was going down at a roll call. He had J.Lo in his office for about an hour," the cop said.
The cop said that superiors are being accommodating by allowing Lo to change in a separate room.
"He's got a private locker room, basically," the cop said.

RE: Cinderalla Man hell it might well be now

Okay....I don't want to get depressing here.....but hell is it me or are things not getting better out there? First my expenses they keep going NORTH and my income keeps going SOUTH. Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. I like to make some flipping more money. Somedays it like spining your wheels. It not that I've done all that bad in my life and I don't want people feeling sorry for me. I just feel that people have a lost their hope for the future out there. That is sad to me. I ask in my 21 questions do you think you'll ever be able to retire in 20 years? Ever since November of 2000 this country has gone downhill. W is the biggest nightmare in my lifetime. You know the idea of sex isn't that good anymore. ( you know I must be depress) HELP!! I'm to young to die and to old to rock. Not really....I still enjoy a good rock & roll show. I saw Cinderalla Man yesterday it really good and moving and tell you the 30's are very much like today. The problem is their is no FDR out there that worrying about the people today.

RE: hero or traitor ? Hero in my book

Here a couple new questions? Do you veiw Deep Throat as hero or as a traitor?That man had a moral compass ...which nobody it seems in goverment has today. I remember when I first started college back in the fall of 72.I took a political science course and the professor said does anybody know the names of Hadleman and Ericlhman. This was before Watergate it hit the papers and network news. This was before cable,talk radio, internet sites. I remember like it was yesterday he said "these guys are the most powerful guys in Washington DC" He was right. It really scare you how many people don't know who Karl Rove is. Do you think the Right Wing owns the mass media? After watching the cable new channels last night. It was like what Nixon did was a-ok with these guys. The started trashing this guy.Made him out to be a snitch. The man had moral compass. If we reallyknow the truth it would scare the hell out of us. Give people the spin and they will believe it. Yes, I believe the big media companies are leaning to the right. At this time in history. Sorry.
