Reverse the decision to scrap the gender recognition act.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Scrap the reversel of gender recognition act.. Stopping trans people from using female toilets is endangering there lives by putting them in a dangerous position within the male toilet as well as mental abuse
You ran a consultation already where most people agreed with the act. You have chosen to ignore the results because it didn't get the answer you wanted . It asked questions about what changes we could make to make trans lives easier with things like self-ID, access to healthcare and shortening the long time-frames that it takes for trans people to access care that allows them to begin their transition. .shorter time scales would actually be more important if you stop access to toilets
