Trans police officers allowed to strip search women as furious feminists warn of ‘state-sanctioned sexual assault’
by Jack Walters, GB News:
The majority of police forces in England and Wales allow trans-identifying biologically male officers to strip search women, research has revealed.
At least 34 out of 43 forces have either implemented the policy or intend to.
The research, conducted by the Women’s Right Network, claimed police forces were pandering to vocal to transgender lobbyists.
Police guidelines already ensure female officers are required to carry out intimate searches of a biological male suspect even if they identify as a woman.
Officers can face disciplinary proceedings if they refuse.
Heather Binning, who founded the Women’s Rights Network, said: “Self-identification is not UK law and women should not be paying the price for policing beyond the law.
“Police chiefs have failed us again. This is not reasonable or lawful and we do not consent.
“It is state-sanctioned sexual assault, and it must not be tolerated.”
Retired police superintendent Cathy Larkman, who authored the WRN’s State Sanctioned Sexual Assault report, claimed dozens of female officers had approached the group to raise their concerns.
However, Larkman also claimed there was a culture fear within the police that prevented them from speaking out.
A female police officer alleged she was threatened with disciplinary action when she questioned the policies.
