Stop Liz Truss from threating the future of young transgender individuals

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Truss has hinted towards a harmful relook into how transgender people are handled in the NHS and whether treatment should be given to under 18s.
Whether or not you are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, we ask you to please help us to stand and fight against this before it is looked at in the summer.
