Descripción:

Trans women in British Transport Police custody will now be strip searched by male officers - not female - following Wednesday's Supreme Court ruling.

The force said it is introducing an "interim position" while it digests the Supreme Court's decision that the definition of a "woman" under the Equality Act 2010 refers to "a biological woman and biological sex".

A British Transport Police (BTP) Authority spokesman told Sky News: "Under previous policy, we had advised that someone with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) may be searched in accordance with their acquired sex.
