Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.

Introduce laws to allow children to use puberty blockers, choose gender & names
Introduce laws and safeguards to make sure that transgender children are legally able to use puberty blockers (but not undergo surgery until 18) and are able to change their names legally themselves. I want the government to ensure they are protected from transphobic parents or guardians.
Recognise same-sex partners as legal parents of children born via surrogacy
Currently, UK law still recognises the surrogate as the legal mother (and their partner as the father if they have one), despite neither having any biological connection to the baby. This can lead to a lengthy court process costing thousands of pounds to be recognised as legal parents.
State that biological males must not be housed in women’s prisons
I want the government to unequivocally state that biological males should not be housed in women’s prisons.
