Specsavers: Stop unnecessarily gendering children's glasses!


Specsavers: Stop unnecessarily gendering children's glasses!
The Issue
Specsavers are starting to roll out separate sections for children’s frames based on gender.
This decision is going backwards by telling children which glasses they can or cannot wear based on something as arbitrary as gender. It fails to recognise children who may be gender non-conforming or non-binary, or who are starting to realise that they are a different gender than the one they were assigned at birth. This change limits both cisgender and transgender children, telling boys they can’t like pink, and girls that they can’t like football, and totally ignoring all the young people who fit in anywhere on the spectrum of gender!
This petition aims to make Specsavers change their mind about separation of boys and girls glasses.
