British Transport Police Allow Transgender Officers with GRC to Strip-Search Women Amid Protests
Nov 23, 2024, 02:58 PM
The British Transport Police (BTP) have issued new guidance allowing transgender police officers to conduct strip searches of women, provided they hold a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC). The policy permits male-born officers who identify as female to intimately search female detainees. This development has raised concerns among women's rights groups, who have protested the move, describing it as 'state-sanctioned sexual assault' and a breach of human rights. Critics argue that it could compromise the dignity, privacy, and safety of women.
