#PoliceScotland's new policy as reported here is illegal, because it takes no account of a #GenderRecognitionCertificate ( #GRC).
The atrocious #UKSC decision in #FWS allows a GRC to be disregarded for purposes of the #EA2010. But it doesn't override a GRC for other purposes.
#GRA2004 §22 still applies: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/7/section/22
Disclosing info relating to a GRC is a criminal offence. The police focus on "BiologicalSex" risks routine illegal disclosure. I hope #trans are ready to sue
