Rejected petition Do not scrap the Gender Recognition Act or make any moves to revoke trans rights

The Gender Recognition Act (GRA) consultation found 70% of respondents were in favour of legislation that would make trans lives easier. Leaked plans show the government intend to ignore the findings and scrap the GRA. We call on the government not to scrap the GRA or reverse any current protections
