BTP have issued new guidance on strip searches and under it any man with a GRC can strip search any women. But it's OK as the equality act (and the haldane ruling) says that the GRC makes the man female 🤬

Transgender police officers can strip-search women https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14116705/Transgender-officers-strip-search-women-police.html?ito=native_share_article-nativemenubutton

I am furious.

I thought we were starting to see the light of sanity return.

It will come, I suspect they are waiting for things to die down so they can slide it through unnoticed.

Its simple.
Men should search men
Women should search women
A transwoman can search transwomen
A transman can search transmen.

Then everyone us searched by someone whose sex and gender align with theirs.

I thought body searches would come under the ‘exception’ and proportionality rules meaning one of the rare cases where you could discriminate. What would Michael Foran say?

Maybe that the EA permits the exceptions but doesn’t obligate organisations to use them. Same as prisons housing rapists in the female estate. You’d think Labour would have something to say about it though considering their position is that the EA currently protects women against this type of abuse.

Ha good luck with that. The days of them sliding anti-woman legislation through under the radar are long gone.

Meanwhile, in Germany......

We are, this is the kick back. I'm very worried about the FWS case though.

This male thug policeman, who says they are a woman, who drugged and sexually assaulted two men, was, unbelievably, about to possibly become the police women’s official representative.

I am having xenophobic, highly judgemental thoughts about what I have just read.

A barrister does a video on the LAW on this at the moment - worth ten minutes of your time. Seems to be boiling down to a conflict of rights.

If a TW tried to strip search me, I would fight them off physically and if they persisted by force I would sue them, report them for sexual assault and go to the press. This is not acceptable.

Memories are short. But I hope so.

This will absolutely be used as a weapon against uppity women by the police. They will roll out the creep with stubble every time a woman is less than fully cooperative.

Michael Foean has published a Substack piece on this today. He's of the opinion that it's illegal.

Thank you for that news.

It should surely be illegal. If the supposed rare exceptions in the GRA and/or Equality Act do not cover this, then the law is absolutely even more of an ass than we thought.

It is ridiculous that the GRA and Equality Act are so badly worded that a law professor can only ‘think’ this is illegal, while the police have established an egregiously outrageous policy for intimate body searches of women by males who are trans because they take it that this is following the law so they must.

I can't help wondering how many transwomen police officers there are. Sometimes, it seems like there's one in every nick, but that can't be the case, surely?

That is awful. It is like attacking her again. I feel so sorry for her.

An FOI on the BTP policy for transitioning in the workplace.

Bee Bailey appears to be instrumental in much of this guidance and some of the relevant groups set up in the Police.

It might be better to have some different pronouns for yourself and demand to be searched by the same.

Or make up your own. But as a pp posted, you can get strip searched if they suspect you've committed a crime. And we all know how tissue like suspicions can be.

No point fighting, in fact that'll be what some of them would like. If you fight they'll just bring more people in to hold you down. I know if it was me I'd rather get it over with than be held down. I would attempt to start a court case about it, and donate to the first case to be brought (and any subsequent cases)

Farking hell, I've just read that.
It is the usual stuff. I'm left wondering if any other protected characteristics have as long a policy.
And part way through it states no grc is needed as proof until
No departments will be advised of the reason for the name change and the individual is not required
to provide any proof of the name change such as a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) or deed poll
document other than for vetting as outlined below.

How useful for rogue police.
Who would have thought the police of all people would have such a dangerous policy.

The Telegraph are reporting that Sex Matters are looking to take a judicial review on this

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11/24/transport-police-force-legal-action-transgender-stripsearch/

"Maya Forstater, CEO of human rights charity Sex Matters, which penned the letter, said the guidance was “state-sponsored sex discrimination and sexual abuse”.
She added: “Its guidance breaches the Human Rights Act, the Equality Act and PACE, the law that requires strip-searches to only be carried out by someone of the same sex.
“Abuse of position for sexual purposes is the largest area of corruption that the Independent Office of Police Complaints deals with and too many officers have been found guilty of sexual offences.
“The police say that lessons have been learnt and then adopt a policy of institutionalised sexual harassment and abuse of women.
“Not only are women more likely to feel humiliated and vulnerable when naked, but men are responsible for 98 per cent of sex crimes.
“It is well attested in the medical literature that for many men, cross-dressing is a sexual fetish.
“No woman should be degraded by being made to strip and bend over in front of a man. That is even more important when the man may be manifesting a sexual paraphilia.”

Well done Sex Matters!

Worth pointing out that if this government weren't captured by the trans cult, they would have spotted the sexual assault implications of this creepy policy. Regrettably the sexual assault of women and girls pales into insignificance when faced with demands to validate men demanding access to women's naked bodies.

MON SEX MATTERS!!!
