Sign it, if you agree with it.
Target: The Daily Mail
Sponsored by: Jennifer P.
In a September 19, 2011 article about expanding passport gender options to include a third identity, the Daily Mail referred to "transgender people" in its headline. Placing the phrase in quotation marks negates the existence of an entire group of people.
Tell the Daily Mail to stop dehumanizing transgender people.
The article's author, James Slack, also referred to intersex people in quotes. To add further insult, the article also uses inappropriate, insensitive terms like "sex-swap" to describe transgender people.
Sign this petition to tell the Daily Mail that transgender and intersex people deserve to be treated just like any other group of people--with respect and without quotation marks.

Too right. The Daily Mail is a terrible, poorly written piece of **** that, yeah, obviously is the 2nd most read newspaper in Britain. Behind the Sun. Shows you who the majority are... Which also means it has the capacity to change attitudes towards touchy subjects! This kind of behaviour doesn't surprise me from The Mail but I hope we can come together to get this corrected somehow. Thanks for posting it here.

Signed :) The Daily Mail is a piece of crap, but sadly it doesn't stop people believing what it says. As they are so fond of saying, respect is sadly lacking in this day and age!

Signed. Everyone has the right to think what s/he thinks. But nobody has the right to treat us as non-human beings.
