Require education on Gender Dysphoria in schools and workplaces

Closed 38 signatures

What the petition asks

Gender Dysphoria should be explained properly in all schools and workplaces to stop the current confusion and the spreading of misinformation. Gender Dysphoria is not a choice, it has lifelong effects and many people do not understand the condition.
The poor understanding of Gender Dysphoria leads to history repeating itself, segregation, discrimination, hate crimes as well as impacts on mental health and lack of medical help.

Our society in the UK is in a dangerous place, if things don't change now, we fear people with Gender Dysphoria will face the worst societal backlash since racism in the 1950s.

Requiring students be taught about Gender Dysphoria in school, and employees receive training on Gender Dysphoria at work, could help prevent this.
