Let's go!!!

Police force that insists trans officers use women's toilets is threatened with legal action

Ceri Rosser, deputy lead for Wales Women's Rights Network, said: 'We have given Gwent Police ample opportunity to address its unlawful policies on single-sex facilities for staff. Our request for a meeting was dismissed out of hand. This cavalier disregard for the law by a Welsh police force serving over half a million people is both astonishing and deeply concerning.
'When the police themselves appear willing to flout the law, public confidence in law enforcement is inevitably and understandably undermined.'
Cathy Larkman, a director at Women's Rights Network and a retired police officer, said: 'It is frankly astonishing that police forces pretend not to understand the consequences for allowing men access into women's facilities.'
Solicitor Ciaran O'Hare, representing the women's group, has written to the force saying: 'If we do not receive a satisfactory response within 14 days, our client reserves the right to issue court proceedings without further notice.'

This could have significant impact in Welsh politics as well given Plaid are still ducking the human biology question as well as pushing other Police forces to sort themselves out.

Police force threatened with legal action over trans toilet use

Gwent Police has been accused of breaching new equality guidance by saying 'trans members of staff are entitled to use the facilities of the gender in which they present'.

WRN Wales are doing a great job to hold politicians and public bodies to account - against a backdrop of total capitulation to TRA demands. Thanks women!

Unbelievable that a police force is happy to break the law so openly. Well done WRN Wales.
