Rejected petition We need to create and establish a third gender.
With trans issues currently in the media and in government and politics we need to accept and respect that some people do not fit in to the narrow gender binary. This means that trans people have no reliable statistics about crimes that affect them, health care, poverty or employment rates.
More details
Attacks on transwoman who have yet to transition fully would go down as an attack against a male.
Suicides would be listed as the sex they were assigned at birth. Transmen with a gender recognition certificate would be forced to share prison cells with bio-men. This is a dangerous situation leaving the transman at risk of rape and pregnancy.
These statistics are vital to the health of trans people. A third gender for the purposes of bathrooms, prisons and sports would make safety paramount.
