Use scientific facts to understand the spectrum of gender
To use facts and science to understand the spectrum of gender and to use inclusive language in legal documents. Transgender people need to be protected by the law to stop the levels of hate crimes and abuse they receive. Stop any discrimination based on being transgender.
The discrimination transgender people face everyday is escalating because of the current stance in the government. Hate crimes are on the rise, transgender people are committing suicide in higher and higher numbers because of the hate received by not only the current government but from media outlets around the world. The hate levels are getting extreme, people are getting labeled as pedophiles/murders for simply existing. This needs to be addressed to stop the hate before it escalates further
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about protections for transgender people, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
The Equality Act 2010 already says that you must not be discriminated against because you are transgender: www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/gender-reassignment-discrimination
And hate crimes on the basis of transgender identity are already recognised in law: www.cps.gov.uk/crime-info/hate-crime
It's not clear what action or actions you want the Government to take to increase protections for transgender people.
