A British Transport Police spokesperson said: “Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex, however as an interim position while we digest yesterday’s judgement, we have advised our officers that any same sex searches in custody are to be undertaken in accordance with the biological birth sex of the detainee.
“We are in the process of reviewing the implications of the ruling and will consider any necessary updates to our policies and practices in line with the law and national guidance.”
Yes you can zoom out far or you can zoom in close to a common collective.
Ultimately, none of us matter.
Therefore, you shouldn’t be this invested in random strangers’ genitals.
True but when they start pushing to change scientific fact and possibly what children are taught. We have to step in.
Who is “they”? What “scientific fact” is being changed? Why shouldn’t children learn about the existence of trans, intersex, and nonbinary people? Who is “we” and what does your “stepping in” involve?

“Children don’t need to learn about …” is so wild. Y’all are fascinatingly weird, as if preventing kids from learning about things is either possible or desirable.
You think that people with mental conditions shouldn’t get help and encouragement to deal with them? Again, this is so amazingly weird.
If you have kids I feel for them. My children know that I’ll love and accept them even if they turn out differently from my expectations.
Your kid might be trans and hiding that fact to protect themselves just like I did. The only way you can find out for sure is to convince your child that they can come out to you without risking your disapproval.
Lol, buddy, I’m almost 40 and I figured out I was trans when I was 11 based on nothing more than passing anthropological references to hijra and two-spirit persons I found in a small town Texas public library in the 90’s. If my generation is fucked then every generation is fucked.
AHH the old two spirit fallacy argument. Really reach now dude.
Children need to learn about stuff that matters, not gender politics or ideology.
These people need mental help, not physical mutilation.
Fallacy? Argument?
What are you talking about?
If “gender politics or ideology” don’t matter then why are the Republicans making such a huge stink about them? Is this an admission that your version of gender politics and ideology are, in fact, nothing more than politics and ideology?
We agree, then. Do me a favor and look up what the American Pediatric Association says we should do to provide that mental help.
This is UK dude not America.

Freaky behaviour to want to control what children learn with regards to people that are just going about their business.
This over protective tendency also helps protect child abusers, who shield their children from learning what should and shouldn’t be done to them.
Hope your kids are doing alright pal 👍
