Affirm the 2004 gender recognition act as the legal definition of sex

Petition Details

Have the UK Supreme Court revaluate their ruling on the legal definition of sex under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act

Additional Information

The UK Supreme Court has decided the legal definition of a woman is a biological one. This is erasing trans people and makes it harder for trans people to have equal rights. This ruling protects nobody. The Supreme Court needs to re-evaluate with input from transgender people. This ruling only hurts the trans community, who didn't hurt anybody in the first place. This ruling needs to change to protect those who have done nothing wrong.

This petition was rejected

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.

The UK Government cannot change court judgements but could introduce new legislation about this.

We already have a petition open calling for the Government to amend the Equality Act to define the terms woman and man not based on biological sex.
