Make non-binary a recognised gender on legal form in the UK

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

although this petition was made previously there has been no change and the UK government basically just said no. this is not acceptable and we will keep asking. Have non binary be included as an option under the GRP / GRC . As well as having ‘Non-binary’ be seen as a valid transgender identity.

There is no option of ‘Non-binary’ on legal forms, ignoring members of the population. This requires the government to pass a law that publicly recognises ‘Non-binary’ as a part of the GRP under the Gender Recognition Act, a.k.a a legal and valid gender identity option. By recognising Non-binary as a valid gender identity, it would aid in the protection of Non-binary individuals against transphobic hate crimes, and would ease Gender Dysphoria experienced by Non-binary people.
