UK petition: Ensure Trans people are fully protected under any conversion therapy ban
I’m sure you’re familiar with the news from earlier this month (April 2022) that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has gone back on his pledge to ban conversion therapy for trans people.
There is now an official UK parliament petition that calls for the government to ban conversion therapy for everyone.
The deadline is 6 October 2022. It has just over 3,000 signatures so far, and it needs 10,000 for a response from the government and 100,000 to be debated in parliament.
You can sign if you live in the UK or are a British citizen living anywhere.
It’s being tracked here, so you can see graphs of the rate of signatures over time.

UK petition: Recognise LGBTQ+ parents equally on UK birth certificates
Birth certificates should record legal parenthood. Parents need the choice to register according to their legal gender or gender neutrally. The gender neutral ‘parent’ label should be available to anyone to choose.
Children must be able to know their genetic make-up and who gave birth to them.
This could be made clear or included on the certificate, or recorded separately.
UK birth registration is outdated and discriminatory.
All legal parents, including through surrogacy, must be recognised from conception and allowed to register on their child’s birth certificate.
Key issues:
– Only heterosexual, cisgender parents can register accurately as “mother” or “father”
– Children born to transgender parents or through surrogacy have inaccurate birth certificates. Trans parents cannot register as their legal gender but must register as their sex assigned at birth, even if they have a Gender Recognition Certificate and therefore, an updated birth certificate
– The definition of “parent” in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act is extremely narrow and gender-specific
Anyone living in the UK and any British citizen living overseas can sign.The deadline is 8 June 2022.
