#lgbt petition

[mediocrephd]

If you're in the UK, please sign this petition!

Currently, as a non binary person, I'm not able to get married or a civil partnership as myself and my gender. I'd have to be deliberately misgendered in all the paperwork and in the ceremony - in front of everyone. I'm also unable to get my passport, driving licence, and other official documents to reflect my correct identity. I can't even be officially recognised as trans, even with a gender recognition certificate, because the UK doesn't recognise non binary as a valid identity!

Please Reblog this to get as many signatures as possible! :)

Thanks! :)

Petition: Recognise nonbinary people's genders in law and in identity documents

[usernamesarehard1]

From my understanding you can only sign if you live in the UK. But if you are lgbt+ or ally in the UK, take a look.

this is so so important to me and mine, and I'm asking you to Do Something so I'll respect your time and keep it brief

in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is 'appropriate' to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.

please, if you're from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn't gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn't enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.

UK petition: An independent evaluation of the Cass review on child gender services

[ Click here to sign ]

We believe that trans healthcare should be based on unbiased research that is peer reviewed. We think that the Cass review's findings have led to restrictive practices that are being directly felt by transgender children. We feel that an independent evaluation is necessary to ensure children aren’t being unduly harmed. We think that only through a transparent process can we guarantee fair access and treatment for trans children as well as restore faith in the current NHS services.

Deadline: 12 June 2025

Hello, friends. It is once again time to try and bully the UK government into doing science properly.

The Cass Review, written by known transphobe Hilary Cass, was a report on UK trans healthcare, which is ultimately being used to deny services to trans people through the NHS. This includes the withdrawal of prescriptions from people who've been on them for years, have gender recognition certificates, and/or have fully medically transitioned (making it very dangerous to stop HRT), and also prevents people from starting hormones to begin with.

Maybe the most well known thing recently is the ban of puberty-blocking drugs from trans children and teens, under "safety concerns", despite them being allowed for non-trans children with precocious puberty or other conditions. This is even though the Cass Review itself actually kind of states that they work and applied suitably, but then draws a weirdly different conclusions from it.

The whole methodology of the Review is hugely suspect, with sources excluded due to a lack of double blinding, something hugely inappropriate for any studies of this kinda, and ultimately just ignoring the research it's referring to to reach a foregone conclusion. Classic UK government tbh.

Tl;dr: plz sign this and get some actual science applied to trans healthcare in the UK.

If you're not eligible to sign the petition (e.g. not a UK resident/UK citizen) then plz share but don't try to sign it - they've previously rejected petitions for too many international "suspect" votes.

UK folks!!

There's some new 'guidance' for schools in the works, which aims to force teachers to inform parents if a child is questioning their gender, or identifies as trans.

This would also involve refusing to acknowledge a child's gender identity without express consent of the parents AND the personal approval of the head teacher.

I can't stress enough how dangerous this will be for trans and queer children in the UK. Some of you may remember Thatcher's Section 28, a piece of legislation designed to "prohibit the promotion of homosexuality".

Practically, this bill legalised homophobia and orientation-based discrimination for years.

THIS guidance for teachers will be worse. This guidance directly targets trans children and puts them at risk of discrimination, harassment and abuse by the people supposed to protect them.

Below is a link to a petition you can sign to counter this guidance. If you can, PLEASE write to your local MP. If they are labour, it is likely they will have opposed Section 28 when it was released and, if enough determination is shown CHANGE CAN HAPPEN.

We cannot let this guidance get a foothold.

We cannot endanger trans children.

DON'T GIVE THEM AN INCH.

Self-identification for trans people in the UK!!

Attention, everyone! There is currently a petition to allow trans people to self-identify our legal gender! This would make it a hell of a lot easier to change our gender, and give us a hell of a lot more dignity - right now, we have to get a diagnosis of gender dysphoria to change our gender legally. A doctor literally has to sign off on the fact that we are trans - a doctor we have to either wait 6+ years to see, or pay a lot of money that a lot of people can't afford, just so we can be treated as ourselves.

The petition is already over 9000 signatures! At 10k, it will receive a government response, and at 100k, it may be debated in pariiament!

If you live in the UK, please sign this petition! If you don't but you know someone who does live in the UK, please sent it to them!

Hey! I don't usually use tumblr to signal boost stuff like this, but if you could please please add your signature to make my home city a sanctuary for the trans and LGBT community, I'd really appreciate. You don't even have to be from the US to sign.

We only need 13 signatures as I write this, and the more support the better

Please reblog for attention if you're willing!

Thank you all so much!

We, the undersigned, are calling on you to immediately withdraw your support for the ban on puberty blockers for trans young people. International evidence shows that puberty suppressing hormones are a safe and effective way to temporarily pause a young person’s puberty, giving them time to consider their options for transition. Much of the concern around their use stems from the idea that those who take puberty blockers go on to use cross sex hormones as part of their transition. We do not think that trans young people growing up to be happy and healthy trans adults is a bad outcome while rates of de/retransition are exceptionally low. Rather than honouring Labour’s manifesto commitment to “remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance,” you have decided to strip trans young people of their bodily autonomy, undermining important medical principles, such as Gillick Competence, in favour of upholding the Conservative approach of politicising the lives of trans people. Even the widely discredited Cass Review does not go so far as to recommend the criminalisation of puberty blockers for trans young people. Court documents show the former Health Secretary’s decision was motivated by her personal view, rather than on the basis of best available evidence.

Hello not at all my usual posting but please consider signing this petition - it applies in NZ but I believe you can sign from anywhere.

Destiny Church is a cult/hate group with charity status in Aotearoa New Zealand, meaning they do not have to pay tax, while being violent instigators of anti LGBT hatred. They recently attacked a ticketed drag event where they *assaulted a teenager*, as well as protesting the parade in Auckland. They are aggressive and violent, and incredibly controlling of members making it nearly impossible for anyone who questions the beliefs to leave.

Their actions have made many LGBT+ Aucklanders feel unsafe and it is clear they are likely to continue to target LGBT people and events.

Please consider signing this petition to strip them of their charity status. In having this, the NZ goverment is essentially cosigning their actions as well as allowing them access to more funds than they would have if they paid their fuckin taxes. Honestly they should be locked up but this is the bare minimum

I know most of my followers are probably US based and you guys have enough to worry about right now, but support is always appreciated 💞

Hello! I don't know who i should connect to about this.

You may be familiar with the general situation of trans and generally queer people in russia. Since the start of war in Ukraine, the law, that was in force for about 10 years and banned "LGBT propaganda" for minors (in fact, it banned any information to teenagers and any materials that are in any way related to queer people and potentially accessible to minors) was changed to a complete ban on “LGBT propaganda”.

In October of this year, russia completely banned documentary and medical transition for transgender people and significantly restricted their other rights. More specifically here: https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/07/25/vladimir-putin-trans-healthcare-ban-russia/ On November 30, the russian Supreme Court classified the “international LGBT movement” as an “extremist organization.” What this means exactly is explained in detail here: https://meduza.io/en/cards/russia-has-banned-the-so-called-international-lgbt-movement

The activist team “Quarteera” has started a petition calling for easier access to refugee status for trans* people from Russia in Germany (e.g. the possibility of applying for refugee status for people already in Germany without having to travel to russia to submit documents).

🟣 The petition can be read and signed here until December 18th: https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/content/petitionen/_2023/_08/_22/Petition_156274.html

Residents of other countries can sign too. I would be very grateful if you would sign the petition and help spread the word.

The petition is in German, but anyone can sign!

According to Wikipedia, the group behind the petition is involved in numerous educational activities and demonstrations that aim to help LGBT+ Russian migrants and their families in Germany.

"Quarteera is a Russian-speaking non-profit volunteer LGBT registered association in Berlin, Germany. The association was officially registered in April 2011 and calls itself the "Russian-speaking group of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender people and their friends in Germany"."

UK petition: Recognise nonbinary people's genders in law and in identity documents

It's that time again. There was no active UK parliament petition about nonbinary identities being recognised in law, so I made one.

The UK government has repeatedly acknowledged the existence of nonbinary people, but it has repeatedly refused to grant recognition in law and systems. Nonbinary genders should be recognised on: - Passports - GRCs - Marriage documents - Death certificates

There is currently an open petition to the New South Whales Legislative Assembly to amend the law to allow Transgender and Non-binary individuals to Self-ID. Currently NSW is the only state which doesn’t have Self-ID laws in place (Queensland is actively in the process of implementing them, and the bill is currently awaiting “royal assent”), and still requires that individuals undergo Gender-Affirming surgery beforehand. This should not be the case, NSW is actively lagging behind the rest of the nation in regards to Trans Rights. But if this petition gets enough support, there is a chance we could rectify that.

IF YOU DON’T LIVE IN THE STATE OF NEW SOUTH WHALES AUSTRALIA THAN DO NOT SIGN THE PETITION, IT IS FOR NSW RESIDENTS ONLY, AND IF TOO MANY PEOPLE FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE/COUNTRY SIGN IT THAN IT COULD BE INVALIDATED! I understand if this upsets some of you who want to help secure trans rights abroad as well as at home, but please understand that you would not be helping, you would actively be causing problems and standing in the way of progress. If you want to help, please reblog this post so that more people see it, increasing the odds of other NSW residents seeing it and being able to sign it.

Thank you.
