The fact that they aren't is the reason we have Operation Stovewood.
I didn't write the title to the thread.

If everyone shared the same characteristics then treating everyone the same would be fine, but we don't.

I recall a time when I visited a prison at a time when only female officers were available to search me. I didn't mind but had to sign a waiver to confirm that, whereas a female colleague did not. They were being sensitive to one of my characteristics (being male), but in doing so treated me differently. I'm completely comfortable with that.
