Challenge the Supreme Court and acknowledge that sex and gender are different.

Challenge the Supreme Court and acknowledge that sex and gender are different. — 10 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Acknowledge in Law that the definition of sex is 'biological' female, 'biological' male or intersex, as assigned at birth. And that gender is a social construct that is an identity. Woman, girl, man, boy are verbs used to describe someones identity, not biology.

Additional details

In April 2025 the Supreme Court have ruled that the definition of women and girl should be based on the biological sex of a person depending on was written on their birth certificate. They state that sex can not be changed, this statement is correct. However, biological sex makes a person female or male (or intersex) , it does not make them a girl, boy, woman or man.
