Stop gender discrimination in the cervical screening process
Stop gender discrimination in the cervical screening process
Why this petition matters
If you have a cervix but do not identify as female you do not receive notification that you need a smear test at age 25, no reminder letters and the results are not posted to you once you have the test. All these things are done for you if you identify as female.
Cervical screening levels of care should be based on if you have a cervix not your gender. This gender discrimination needs to be stopped. It is breaking the Equalities Act by basing levels of care on gender not on need. It is also putting lives at risk. A cervix is just as able to give you health problems and cancer regardless of your gender.
The UK government has already said they won't help. Please sign this petition to give a bigger voice to this campaign. Power to the people, united we can get the NHS bosses to change this process. Make smear test care the same for everyone with a cervix.
