That's a very wishy washy article, using the "she" pronoun for K. White.
"This rule has already led to a number of farcical incidents including, in one recent case, female prison officers in Scotland refusing to search a transgender woman because she was still biologically male."
This isn't farcical as the writer puts it, this is women refusing to touch male bodies intimately. Exactly the same as Jonathan Yaniv. To force them to do so would make sexual assault part of the job of being a prison officer.
