There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

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

@syhr spending a sizeable chunk of your life telling the UK government to make a document add some words to a document must be miserable -

@wolfie Hope is always worth having.

I used to select Germany and put my German postcode in the box. It was quite happy about it.
These days the postcode box disappears if you select a country other than UK.

@syhr This may not be such a great idea. One database query and the government has a list for nefarious purposes.
