ferengi drip is absolutely insane 1830s menswear and im frothing with rage that we don’t get 1830s ferengi womenswear. like dressing your wife in the most garish silks and lace isn’t the most conspicuous form of consumption
Please sign, British folks. Allowing an amendment could mean a separate category for “Sex” and “Gender” on official documentation, with the first one being fixed permanently at birth.
There seems to be some confusion in the replies, so it would be great if people could reblog this version! This is what the petition says:
[Image ID: text from the above petition that reads: It has been reported that the Government may amend the Equality Act to “make it clear that sex means biological sex rather than gender.” The Government has previously committed to not remove legal protections for trans people, an already marginalised group, but this change would do so.
More details
Currently, the Act protects trans people from discrimination on the basis of both sex and “gender reassignment”, regardless of whether they have undergone medical transition or hold a Gender Recognition Certificate. It can allow trans people to access single-sex spaces such as DV shelters, bathrooms and hospital wards.
The proposed change would remove a legal protection for trans people and encourage discrimination. We ask the Government to refuse this change to the Equality Act 2010. /END ID]
