Reverse the Decision to Scrap the Gender Recognition Act Consultation Results

What the petition asks

Reconsider the current stance on the Gender Recognition Act, accord transgender people the same human rights as all other citizens

Transgender people are being made to feel like criminals. Bigots call trans women men, therefore should not be allowed to use facilities of the gender they identify as, that each trans person is a danger. The language used in why trans people must not be treated like everyone else is dehumanizing and reminiscent of rhetoric from yesteryear, as well as painting all trans people as sexual predators, as those who hate us then obsess over our genitals, toilet habits, etc. We just want to live.
