Looks like progress is on the way but still nothing for female police officers who are being forced to strip search any man who claims to be a woman

Police to be only allowed search suspects of same biological sex https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13139867/Transgender-police-strip-search-biological-sex-womens-safety.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

Police to be only allowed search suspects of same biological sex

Under the currently national policing guidance, police officers who were born male but identify as female can strip search women suspects if they have a gender recognition certificate.

What about Customs & Excise, Border Force and prison officers? There are occasions where they have to pat down and strip search suspects / offenders.

Will the policies be changed for them too? I haven’t read your linked article, OP, but I haven’t seen them mentioned in other MSM reporting.

@PaterPower from the article it appears to only be police strip searches, though I would hope that it will go further
