The guidance feeds into and legitimises anti-trans rhetoric that has been increasing in the last 10 years, and could be seen as inciting hate crimes and discrimination. It is neither effective nor proportionate in protecting (cisgender) women.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-05-22T08:02:22.158Z","updated_at":"2026-06-24T11:29:13.187Z","rejected_at":"2026-06-24T11:28:52.856Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-23T14:08:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"Disapprove the draft Equality Act 2010 guidance laid on 21 May 2026: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/770527"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
