Transgender police officers can strip-search women under new guidance issued by the British Transport Police (BTP).
The guidance, seen by The Telegraph, allows male staff identifying as female to intimately search women so long as they have a gender recognition certificate (GRC). It comes after backlash earlier this year saw similar national policing guidance temporarily withdrawn after the-then government raised concerns about women’s safety.
The guidance says officers can search people of the same sex as “either their birth certificate or GRC” in BTP jurisdiction. It also suggests that disclosure of a person’s GRC without written permission could be an offence under the Gender Recognition Act. Authorised in September by the assistant chief constable for network policing, it reads: “British Transport Police recognises the status of transgender and non-binary detainees/staff from the moment they permanently identify in that gender with or without a GRC. “This means that even when a person has not legally changed their sex, we should continue to use the correct pronouns and recognise the person’s gender. BTP officers/staff will only search persons of the same sex as either their birth certificate or GRC.”
