@syhr signed and shared elsewhere as well as boosted here

@syhr very on the fence about this. recognizing it is good, but maybe they shouldn't force people to put their gender marker in passports, thus indirectly making an entire data directory of nonbinary people in the uk...this can only get ugly
@mynameistillian @syhr it's not mandatory like in Germany, or indeed the US when they had it. So you can choose not have an X marker.
So not sure where 'forcing' comes from?

@radioclash @syhr just kinda assumed that's the case, pardon me
but i still am wary of government collecting such info

I support this, and not just for non-binary. I'm cis-female and have long resented being forced to announce it in circumstances where my gender should be irrelevant.

@syhr Be careful, looking at the US: If the UK follows on their route to fascism, they may block people from leaving the country based on X markers... It may be wise to remain in a state of plausible gender deniability.

@sunflowerinrain Completely agree. My preferred option would be to scrap gender markers on passports. But the legal protections are still important.

@KarlHeinzHasliP There's been some discussion about that under the toot

@syhr Welcome.

@syhr@social.coop question, is there anything stopping me from saying I'm british and putting in some random british postcode
@Starcross @syhr yes.
It's an official UK government petition site. They have access to the full electoral role. They routinely check large petitions against it and remove signatures that don't match.
So, I guess you could easily do that, but it's pretty pointless. -
British citizens living overseas can sign - says so next to the checkbox at the top.

@syhr I'm not terribly hopeful that a petition would do much on this topic, considering the failure of the courts to do anything so far https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/08/05/non-binary-uk-lawsuit-echr/
