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.”
What percentage of rapists are men vs women? Sex segregation when it comes to things like strip searching is an (unfortunate) necessity.
Same for sports - men are biologically stronger than women. Just because you don’t like the fact that the average man and woman are foundationally different when it comes to things like this, doesn’t mean this is actually your utopia. Women and their rights need protected- I can’t believe that somebody has to say this in the twenty-first century, but here we are.
And don’t strawman me- there’s nothing dangerous about a man working with children or a woman doing an engineering job, or any other job, for that matter. That’s not the same thing as strip searching, sports, and changing rooms. Anyone who is seriously arguing that we should get rid of sex segregation in strip searching, bathrooms, safety refuges, and changing rooms is a mentally deranged pervert who needs their hard drive checked.
By your logic, if our society didn’t have a rape problem then there would be no need to segregate by sex.
Seems to me, then, that focusing on the segregation isn’t the same thing as focusing on the problem.
The thing is, you need to fix the problem before virtue signalling. And by our fallen nature, throughout history, men have always subjugated women. If somewhere claims to not have rape happening, then there are big coverups happening
You probably want to revisit your history, matriarchical societies aren’t exactly uncommon.

There are around only 65~ listings there.
Very few appear to be actual countries or kingdoms and are instead obscure religions, folklore, books, or pages about philosophers.
And even then, a lot of the few societies listed aren’t even matriarchies, they just have different laws in terms of inheritance that favoured women. So saying “matriarchies aren’t uncommon” isn’t true at all, you’ve just demonstrated that they are extremely uncommon.
Most anthropologists hold that there are no known societies that are unambiguously matriarchal, at least no matriarchal society that have completely excluded the opposite gender from roles of authority.
Thank you for proving my point by admitting that there are exceptions to your “women are always subjugated by men” claim.
