Reverse the Decision to Scrap the Gender Recognition Act Consultation Results
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
Overturn the Gov's decision to scrap the results of the consultation and instead carry out the results and apply the new guidelines from the consultation as promised!
More than 100,000 responses were received and were overwhelmingly in favour of improving the lives of trans people.
We believe that the government's belief that “the results were skewed by an avalanche of responses generated by trans rights groups.” is unjust and invalid.
