Reverse the Decision to Scrap the Gender Recognition Act Consultation Results · petition

What the petition asks

The Government held a consultation regarding the Gender Recognition Act, asking about things like self-ID and access to healthcare in respect to trans people.
Over 100,000 responses were received, overwhelmingly in favour of improving lives of trans people, but the results were scrapped.

The Government have decided to scrap the results of the consultation as they "were skewed by an avalanche of responses generated by trans rights groups.”
This is unfair and undemocratic! They held the consultation, got their results, & MUST follow up on them. Our trans siblings are one of the most vulnerable groups today, facing discrimination and often violence at a disproportionate rate. We need to carry out the results and apply the new guidelines from the consultation like they promised!
