Male police officers can intimately search women. New guidance

Apologies if this has been posted, but I am sickened that new Police guidance (written by Stonewall obvs) enables male officers who ID as women to search women.

We are meant to be reassured that 'only' officers who ID as women can perform such searches. Apparently there's a lot of misunderstanding about this.

Confusion with the public due to useless, twisted language.

Searched by someone who "identifies" as a woman. So that would be a man then. Because women do not need to identify as women.

Oh, well as long as they identify as female...

Can't say I'm surprised by this in the slightest sadly.

Well if they feel like they're a woman then that's alright then Hmm

I feel like we've all fallen down the rabbit hole.
