Rejected petition Reverse the legal definition of a woman to include Transgender women again.

Include Trans women in the definition of a woman
Allow transgender women back into female spaces such as sports and bathrooms.
Stop male police officers strip searching women they see as transgender.
The legal definition changing doesnt just damage transgender women, all women's rights suffer.

More details

Reversing equality laws on 'what a woman is' feels like a slippery slope back to discrimination and oppression of all women.
It opens the doors to asking the question where women deserve to be and puts into jeopardy any other minority's and their right to basic human rights, dignity and freedom of expression.
No woman is free until all women are free.
No man is going to put on an eleborate disguise to assult women, he does it anyway. Transgender women are not the problem.
