uk petitions to defend trans rights
i saw this thread on bluesky and thought i'd share the petition links here for better reach (note that only british citizens and uk residents can sign these):
"Legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services" (currently at 59,552 signatures)
"Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender." (currently at 73,724 signatures)
"An independent evaluation of the Cass review on child gender services" (currently at 15,838 signatures)
"Lift restrictions on prescribing puberty blockers to trans children." (currently at 12,084 signatures)
"Increase funding for transgender healthcare to reduce waiting times & train GPs" (currently at 3,265 signatures)
"Stop "gender critical beliefs" being protected under the Equality Act" (currently at 1,893 signatures)
"Review how the rights of trans athletes are respected in sports" (currently at 1,093 signatures)
"Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards" (currently at 21,776 signatures)
"Review the issuing of hormone prescriptions for transgender individuals by GPs" (currently at 886 signatures)
"Legally recognise Non-Binary as a gender" (currently at 6,421 signatures)
the government must respond to petitions which gather at least 10,000 signatures. at 100,000 signatures, petitions are considered for debate in parliament.
it takes just a few minutes to go through and sign these. with trans rights under attack in the uk, we have to let the government know that we stand with the trans community and that the recent supreme court ruling was a mistake.
