I thought the behavior of the Met was pretty despicable back in 2008 when they tried to claim that trans women needed to carry their Gender Identity Certificates to prove that they are allowed to pee. However, in the last two years things seem to have got much worse. Apparently it is now deemed OK for officers to grope trans women’s genitals in order to ascertain whether they are “real” women or not. UK Law Review discusses the case.
