Stop The Removal Healthcare For Trans Kids & The Enforcement of Single-Sex Space

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

End plans to reform the Gender Recognition Act and ensure the protection of healthcare to trans people within UK, both under and over the age of 18.
Prohibit the enforcement of single-sex spaces based on birth sex.

Removing the healthcare provided to trans youth could lead to an unprecedented rise in self-harm, self-medication & worse. The provision of mental and physical healthcare to trans youth is a vital resource that must not be abolished.
The enforcement of single-sex spaces based on birth sex removes the equality that we as British citizens demand.
