Legally recognise non-binary as a gender
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.
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.
