Closed petition: Add intersex to the Equality Act as a protected characteristic
Closed on
We want the government to make sex variations a protected characteristic under the Equality Act.
The United Kingdom has been considered poor for intersex bodily integrity, and unnecessary genital modification of intersex babies is not banned as it is in Malta, Kenya, Iceland and other countries.
