Petition Action

Meet the needs of non-binary people by including the title "Mx" as an option.

Petition Details

The UK passed a number of laws to protect transgender individuals from discrimination, yet it ignores the basic needs of non-binary individuals accessing government services. For instance, the title "Mx" is often not an available option, forcing people to use titles that do not reflect their gender.

Additional Information

The gender-neutral title "Mx" is commonly used by non-binary individuals. This title is often not an available option when accessing government services, such as the Passport Office and even the NHS. Non-binary individuals are forced to use a title that does not reflect their gender or to argue for their right to use the correct title. They may also see their title replaced with a traditional title chosen by a civil servant without their consent. This is a form of discrimination and should stop.
