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.”

    Every public bathroom is already required to have disabled units. I’m talking about changing rooms.

      You’re going to have to explain how the difference between bathrooms and changing rooms is relevant, because I’ve got no clue what sort of point you’re trying to make.

        Because every public bathroom I’ve been to has a disabled toilet.

          Are you suggesting that every public bathroom is already single-occupant because it has a disabled stall or are you going off on a tangent that is entirely unrelated to the topic of sex segregated spaces vs single-occupant spaces?
