Police officers who are “gender critical” want the force to recognise their views. Some have applied for permission to form a staff association for protection against disciplinary action.The Police Sex Equality and Equity Network, recognised in England, has now applied for that status in Scotland.

The network is opposed to trans-officers strip-searching the opposite biological sex and recording crime data on gender self-identification.David Kennedy, of the Scottish Police Federation says they have no issue with the bid to be recognised.However a Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We have received correspondence from SEEN and officers have met with members of the organisation.

The information submitted will be reviewed in due course.”A SEEN spokesperson said: “Our membership covers forces across the United Kingdom but the greatest percentage are from Police Scotland.“Our members there tell us there’s an urgent need for clarity around protection from discrimination for all and we have had some positive and productive meetings with stakeholders.”Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
