Reverse the scrapping of the changes to Gender Recognition Act
I am asking the Government to reverse the decision to shelve the reform to the Gender Recognition Act and continue the consultation as planned.
The reform to the Gender Recognition act was scrapped on the basis that within the 70% of over 100,000 people who agreed with the petition were mostly from "trans activist groups".
Myself and many others believe this to be an incorrect reason to scrap a 2 year consultation, especially when they reached out to trans people specifically to answer the consultation.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
