Reverse the decision to scrap the gender recognition act

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to reverse the decision to scrap the gender recognition act.

This decision is infringing on trans rights by making it so that trans individuals can no longer self-identify. Also, by reducing the number of doctors who can choose who transitions, it slows the process of transitioning greatly and therefore puts more trans lives at risk.
