a male officer also threatened a queer male friend of mine with rape.
i was only patted down, not strip searched, but still felt violated (it included feeling my vulva and breasts). there has been reports of women searched, including strip searched, by men.
edit: here's a vid of miller discussing what happened: http://vimeo.com/ 12925239
