What the petition asks

Transgender people have a tough time as it is without the government trying to raise the age to 18!

By raising the age the suicide rates will increase. It will also create an increase in poor mental health which will also means that the government will have to provide the NHS even more funding. So keep the age at 17 save yourself some money and make the public happier
