Rejected petition Let trans people have rights!!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action, and we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

Trans people already have rights, including legal protections against discrimination because of being trans. The Equality Act 2010 says that you must not be discriminated against because of gender reassignment. In the Equality Act, gender reassignment means proposing to undergo, undergoing or having undergone a process to reassign your sex.

You can find out more about what the Equality Act says about gender reassignment discrimination here: https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/en/advice-and-guidance/gender-reassignment-discrimination

If there is something specific you want the Government to do to enhance rights for trans people you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
