A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex, however as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.
“We are in the process of reviewing the implications of the ruling and will consider any necessary updates to our policies and practices in line with the law and national guidance.”
So now, if you’re a woman and some pervert cop takes a fancy to you all he has to do is say “I reckoned she looked trans so I did the search myself” and he can touch you up as much as he feels he can get away with
Even better, he can demand her to strip naked for him. Purely theoretical of course, the bobbies would never abuse their power.
Goodness no, perish the very thought. This fucking country…
Not sure. I think this is specifically about the sex of the peeler, not the subject of the search.
It’s absolutely about the person being searched.
Ah, ty for that!
