Senior Counsel Ralph Ramkarran has criticised Magistrate Dylon Bess for barring a transgender woman from the courtroom because of her clothing and says a grave injustice has been done to her.
Magistrate Bess had been barring the woman Petronella Trotman who was born a man but identifies as a woman from attending court apparently because she was wearing female clothing. He had once ordered her to appear in court in a pants and shirt and without earrings.
