Women's rights campaigners have reacted with fury after police referred to a wanted individual as a woman - despite an accompanying photograph appearing to show a man.
Surrey Police faced criticism for referring to Skyla Stone, wanted for failing to appear in court, as a "woman" in a public appeal. The description and photo appeared inconsistent, leading to accusations of misleading information. The police later acknowledged they should have referred to Stone as a transgender woman. The incident sparked debate about the recording of biological sex versus gender identity in official data and potential implications for public safety.
