UK petition: Legally recognise Non-Binary as a gender

[ Click here to sign ]

Many non-binary people in the UK currently feel invisible and ignored. Therefore, we think this government should seek to reform the Gender Recognition Act 2004 so that it extends legal recognition to a third, non-binary gender. Currently non-binary people are not recognised in UK law. This means that we have no choice but to choose either male or female gender markers on government IDs and in many other institutional settings. This can lead to constant misgendering. Therefore, we think the government should legally recognise non-binary people to allow us to be seen as our true gender by society and to help us feel more respected in everyday life. We think that this would be in line with fundamental British values.

Deadline: 29 May 2025

Signatures needed: 100,000

Who can sign?

Anyone living in the UK;

Anyone living overseas who is a UK citizen.

"Kerala High Court Mandates Action on Transgender Reservation Rights in Education and Employment"

"Kerala High Court Mandates Action on Transgender Reservation Rights in Education and Employment"

🔴Can the promise of equality truly be realized when a vulnerable community is left behind? In a substantive decision, the Kerala High Court has firmly reinforced the rights of transgender individuals, mandating the enforcement of reservation in both education and employment. This pivotal ruling not only upholds the principles of social justice and equality but also sends a powerful message about the state's duty to protect the rights of its most marginalized citizens.

#Transgenderrights #Reservationineducation #Reservationinemployment

➡️The writ petitions were filed by transgender individuals seeking a writ of mandamus to direct the Kerala Government to provide reservations in education and public employment, following the Supreme Court's declaration in National Legal Services Authority v. Union of India. Despite various government measures since 2015, there was no concrete policy or action to ensure such reservations.

#NationalLegalServicesAuthorityCase #Transgenderpersons

➡️The primary legal issue before the Kerala High Court was whether the Government of Kerala's inaction in providing reservations to transgender persons, despite Supreme Court directives and constitutional obligations, violates the rights of transgender individuals under Part III of the Constitution.

#Affirmativeaction #Fundamentalrights #Socialjustice

➡️The petitioner's submission was

🔹The lack of reservations violates their fundamental rights to equality, dignity, and affirmative action as mandated by the Supreme Court in the NALSA judgment.

🔹There is persistent discrimination and exclusion faced by them (transgender individuals) in education and public employment.

➡️The Government's submission was

🔹They have undertaken various measures, including social welfare schemes for the transgender community.

🔹Framing reservation policies involve complex administrative considerations and cannot be resolved solely through judicial intervention.

#Legalrecognition

➡️The High Court observed that

🔹The Apex Court's directives in NALSA is binding and essential for ensuring the equality and dignity of transgender persons.

🔹The Supreme Court in NALSA had explicitly declared that transgender persons must be recognized as a "third gender" and categorized as socially and educationally backward for reservations.

🔹The Government's continued inaction, despite constitutional and judicial mandates, is a failure to uphold fundamental rights.

🔹The absence of government action was deemed a violation of the constitutional mandate under Articles 14, 15, and 21.

➡️In a significant judgment the High Court directed the Kerala Government to formulate and implement reservation policies for transgender individuals in education and public employment & ensure compliance with the NALSA judgment and provide equal treatment to transgender persons through proactive affirmative action.

Achieving Sign Language Rights for All.

The legal recognition of national sign languages is an important step towards achieving basic human rights for all deaf people.  60% of State Parties to the CRPD still have not achieved legal recognition of their national sign languages.  Legal recognition is a process that allows for greater awareness of deaf people's linguistic and cultural rights and paves the way for social change.  Today, we encourage the sharing of stories of what the legal recognition of sign languages has meant for you and your communities.

Best of luck and legal fortitude to Ryan Castellucci today

Ryan's in court against THE ENTIRE UK GOVERNMENT, fighting for the accurate records and documents to which they are already entitled under UK law!

They've got a good case and good lawyers, and if they win it could change EVERYTHING for nonbinary people in the UK. I cannot express how grateful I am that they're using their nerves of steel for this cause that is very important to me.

[Their costs are significant, so if you've got a spare couple of quid, their crowdfunder can be found here. Thank you!]

EU Court Ruling Mandates Recognition of Gender Changes Across Member Statesh

In a landmark ruling on October 4, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) confirmed that all European Union (EU) member states must legally recognize gender and name changes made by individuals in any other EU country. This decision, based on a specific case involving Romania, sets a significant precedent for the rights of transgender individuals across the EU. According to the court’s judgment, refusing to acknowledge these changes violates EU law. The ECJ emphasized that any regulation preventing the recognition of legally acquired gender identity in another member state infringes on the person’s fundamental rights under EU legislation.

today i've learnt that apparently it's easier in my country to legally change your sex than it is to officially get started on HRT lol

[rawliverandcigarettes]

just realized never explicitely mentioned it in here I think, but my oc Shlee is very much nonbinary. like he just never really had time/community to process what it would mean for him specifically, how that would inform the way he'd like the world to perceive him or his gender presentation or whatnot, but shlee's experience of being alive is Absolutely (and inescapably) genderqueer. How could it not be.

[tunneldweller]

it's nice that the ECHR judgment on protections for same-sex couples came on the day the PM mentioned queer people in his inauguration speech. things might change for the better sometime this century, but I don't want to get my hopes up.
