Its up on the petitions and activism board, its an official Government petition so UK residents only. You'll need to give your name, postcode, and an email address. You also need to click a link they email to you or your signature won't count.
No one else can see you signed, not even the person who created it.

It's always surprised me that it's so easy to change your name and sex on driving licenses and passports

Thank you for bringing this petition to our attention OP
There were 2853 signatures as I signed just now,
Have to remember to click the confirmation link in the email that is sent to you,
Otherwise your vote will not be counted,
It is very distressing to think how sex offenders can use this loophole to cover their abuse history and become untraceable

Thank you Thelnebriati this is so important. We must maintain sex-disaggregated data, and this is an important supporting step. Plus, obv as pp has said, closing a loophole which allows criminals including paedophiles to escape their criminal records.

Morning bump. This would go a long way to sorting things out. Documentation should be factual and accurate and only record observable data and the facts of events. Our internal self concept doesn’t override that and isn’t necessary on official documents.
