my name is Matt I'm a 11 year old trans kid and I would be much much happier and have better mental health if I had access to this care
matt supported: NHS : Reverse decision to ban puberty blockersMy name is Vee, and I am a 13-year-old transgender girl. Since I was little, I’ve known who I am. But knowing and being allowed to live as myself are two very different things. For many transgender youth like me, gender-affirming healthcare isn’t just about looking a certain way—it’s about survival. It’s about waking up in the morning and not feeling like a stranger in your own body. It’s about reducing the anxiety, dysphoria, and depression that come from being forced into a body that doesn’t match who you are. I know what it feels like to look in the mirror and feel like you don’t belong in your own skin. I know what it’s like to feel so trapped, so unheard, that you just want to make the pain stop. There were times when that pain became so overwhelming that I turned it inward. Self-harm became a way to cope, to try and release something I didn’t have words for. I didn’t want to feel this way, but when you are constantly told that you shouldn’t exist as you are, that your identity is up for debate, the pain builds up. I’m not alone in this. So many trans kids feel like this because we are denied the care that could help us feel whole. gender-affirming medication drastically reduces self-harm and suicide rates among trans youth. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about saving lives. Right now, trans kids across the country are being denied the care they need. Laws and policies are being put in place to strip us of our rights, making it harder—sometimes impossible—to access the medication that can help us live happy and healthy lives. Some of us are forced to go through puberty in a body that feels wrong, leading to emotional distress that no child should have to endure.
Davina supported: NHS : Reverse decision to ban puberty blockersI am a 32 year old trans woman and I wish I had the opportunity to transition earlier in life. Unfortunately, my environment was very bigoted, and I didn't even know transitioning was an option.
It's too late for me to entirely undo the damage done to me by male puberty, but the fact that trans children who know about the option to transition are being denied that option breaks my heart.
Please reverse this decision. This is causing more pain than a cis person could ever know.
Ashley supported: NHS : Reverse decision to ban puberty blockersMy school has multiple gender-neutral bathrooms, and funnily enough, I used one today. It made me realize something: it's a huge problem that nonbinary and trans kids like me can't have somewhere to do our business in peace, but gender-neutral bathrooms are about more than just having an environment that feels safer for us. Even if you're not struggling because of gendered bathrooms, having a shared space for everyone... It's humanizing. There's nothing wrong with getting our bodily function done in a private space, no matter what genders we're surrounded by on the other side of the door. We're all the same species, and we all go pee. It's nice to be able to feel that solidarity, instead of the subtle divisiveness that separate bathrooms sow. And even if you still aren't convinced by any of that, I still have one more thing for you to know: gender-neutral bathrooms are more efficient. If you've ever seen a women's bathroom with a line going out the door that happens to be next to a near-empty men's bathroom, you might be starting to understand my point. No matter your stance on my existence, you gotta admit, those empty spaces in the men's bathroom are a waste, and I'm sure my trip to the gender-neutral bathroom that made me feel safe and welcome was much quicker than it would have been if I'd chosen the girl's room downstairs. So... Make everyone's lives easier, please? Is my own dignity too much to ask?
Azura supported: Erna Solberg: Gender-neutral bathrooms!The institution of marriage has a long history in subjugating women along with treating human beings as property. There are many different ways to love in this world and provide commitment. My support people being able to choose for themselves and how they want to be together!
Justin supported: Boris Johnson: Allow polyamorous marriages.I myself am poly and have a boyfriend and a girlfriend whom I love very much and we have talked about getting married but unfortunately we cannot which breaks my heart unable to marry the 2 people I love the most.
Emms supported: Boris Johnson: Allow polyamorous marriages.Because it’s affected me personally for years I even went uni to better my job to find I’m not earning much more now because the cost of living so still cannot afford these options. I’ve now hit 40 and unfortunately I think time is nearly up for my wife and i to complete our dream and have a child. However I’m passionate about this and don’t want future generations to suffer. A change needs to happen rights should be equal. Human rights act states everyone’s entitled to family life. Then where is the support? The people who can make this change should consider that one day this could affect their own children or grandchildren who may be gay and want a family but can’t afford the treatment.
Amy supported: The Government : Funded IVF for Same Sex CouplesBlack Trans Women are always at the forefront of attacks against trans people, and against women, and against black people. They are in a uniquely dangerous position and legal protections should reflect that.
Robbie supported: Boris Johnson: more protection for Black Trans Women UKas a trans ftm demiboy, who has been reacently outed by a teacher and may have to go to my all-girls school's coulcellor for unofficial conversion therapy once a week so i'm not kicked out, or outed to my parents, petitions like these are really important. people should have a voice, and be able to be themselves no matter what
