No change to the Gender Recognition Act

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Make sure there are no changed to the Gender Recognition Act, specifically about the acts surrounding gender identity + bathroom laws and denying trans teenagers the right to transition.

Britain’s Equality Minister has announced a major government policy change on trans rights, banning transition before the age of 18. Her statement may also be the start of an attack on trans people being able to use the right bathrooms and changing rooms
