Rejected petition Stop intersex surgeries, give all intersex ppl body autonomy& physical integrity
Drs are doing in-needed surgires and choosing the child gender for them before they can show a preference, this means a lot of them are incorrect, leave that person with the wrong genitalia and serious issues throughout their life, suicide as well as being left sterile as well as on hormone therapy.
More details
This is pure discrimination and s vialstion of the human rights!
We must stop this happening!
Here in the UK intersex people have no say over what happens and nosay over the painful unnecessary survives they are put through throughout their lives!
We must stop this and allow for a third gender so these people can live their lives as to how they choose. Also a lot of the Drs lie about why they must have surgery usually saying that they will get cancer which is not true! We MUST STOP THE DISCRIMINATION!
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 UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There is no NHS policy that would lead to doctors performing unnecessary surgery on people with disorders of sexual development, without consent. You can find out about disorders of sex development and support available from the NHS here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government and Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for a review of medical care for intersex people, if that's what you'd like to happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
