Rejected petition Affirm the 2004 gender recognition act as the legal definition of sex

Have the UK Supreme Court revaluate their ruling on the legal definition of sex under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act

More details

The UK Supreme Court has decided the legal definition of a woman is a biological one. This is erasing trans people and makes it harder for trans people to have equal rights. This ruling protects nobody. The Supreme Court needs to re-evaluate with input from transgender people. This ruling only hurts the trans community, who didn't hurt anybody in the first place. This ruling needs to change to protect those who have done nothing wrong.
