Petition Privacy for sex-change people

More details

Make it illegal for the media to "name and shame" people who are going through, or have been through, sex change operations.

This is a very personal decision accompanied by very personal medical treatment.

Publishing details of these people does not serve the public good; it is simply titilation that does the person involved untold harm. This is proven by the sad suicide of Lucy Meadows.

Please legislate for privacy and let Lucy's sad death not have been for nothing if it raises awareness and stops this unwarranted hounding of people at a very difficult stage in their lives.
