Rejected petition Make schools add an optional gender neutral PE class.

I want the government to make it Mandatory for schools to see if their is a large enough community of non-binary and non-gender specific students they must set up a separate class not defined as male or female and it must follow the exact same rules and curriculum as the other classes.

More details

The government should do this because I have personally experienced the unfair societal norms that create an environment in schools that make me feel uncomfortable and awkward in my PE lesson. People such as myself deserve to feel just as included as others in this day and age. This is especially important at a school where people learn lessons and morals that they will carry forward their whole life.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

It is up to schools, within their wider equality obligations, how to structure PE lessons and whether to have multiple PE classes.

You could have a petition calling on the Government to ban schools from separating children by sex for PE, if that's something you would like to happen.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:

Make non-binary a legally recognised gender identity in the UK
