Provide transgender people with more gender options on their birth certificate

Closed 53 signatures

What the petition asks

We urge the Government to give the transgender community the option to identify as TF or TM as well as F and M on their birth certificate.
As a transgender woman, I embrace the label of transgender woman to me as I believe it is a big part of my identity, and I would like to embrace that in every part of my life, including on my personal documents.
