Non-binary is an umbrella term for people who don't identify entirely as only male or only female, including non-gendered people. Despite roughly 1 in every 250 people being non-binary, there is very little protection for them. That's over quarter of a million people in the UK being treated unfairly by the law.

Made the following comment: The Nation of OOOG is delighted to support this pledge, for it is in keeping with OOOG's Word. OOOG created humanity in a spectrum, with male and female only constituent parts. Gender, like race and class, is a weapon wielded to suppress and torment humankind. It is a weapon that must - and shall - be shattered against the cold black steel of the coming Afro-Thanetian Zaliphate.

Made the following comment: The Green Party is genuinely committed to equality, has a detailed Equality section in its manifesto (https://www.greenparty.org.uk/we-stand-for/2015-manifesto.html) and has a track record of campaigning for equality and implementing and influencing equality policies. Stonewall put the Green-led Brighton Council in first place in their 2014 Education Equality Index. Stonewall has described the Council as ‘leading the way’ in celebrating difference and supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. Brighton Council also introduced the landmark trans scrutiny panel, looking how to address transphobia in the city. Of the 37 initial recommendations, 25 have started or been implemented, including addressing transphobia in schools, allowing genderless honourifics for Council documentation and easing access to healthcare for trans people. I have read the Trans Manifesto, and hereby pledge my support. Warmly, Adrian
- Adrian Page, Liberal Democrats candidate for Sunderland Central, has made the pledge. Made the following comment:
Thank you for your e-mail and for all the work you do on behalf of all non-binary people.
I have a family member who identifies as bisexual and non-binary, and I am aware of many of the issues that are important to non-binary people. Certainly, there is practically zero protection under the law as it stands and I am more than happy to support your objectives.
Personally, I have been impressed by some recent developments in Malta and I hope that the UK government can learn from the actions of other European governments to improve non-binary rights.
I am happy to sign the pledge as I support giving protections to all non-binary people, reviewing (and bringing up to date) the Gender Recognition Act and the availability of non-gendered passports without the need for a doctor's intervention.

This pledge is something I hope every candidate in Alyn and Deeside will make. In the meantime I am grateful to everyone who's brought it to my attention. These are simple changes that we can make easily, the question is whether the political will is there. It would be a disgusting breach of the rights of trans & non-binary people if it is not. If elected, I will do all I can to advance the rights of trans & non-binary people, just as I will if I'm not.

- Andrea Cantrill, Green Party candidate for Wolverhampton South West, has made the pledge.
- Andree Frieze, Green Party candidate for Richmond Park, has made the pledge. Made the following comment: The Green Party view is that anti-discrimination policies on their own aren’t enough. It’s vital to see the connections between one policy decision and its effects elsewhere in society. Cuts and austerity measures have a disproportionate effect on LGBTIQ people because of higher levels of reliance on public services due to family estrangement, societal and workplace discrimination, and specific healthcare needs. Likewise, cuts in youth, housing and social services are more likely to affect young LGBTIQ people, particularly those who are estranged from their families. LGBTIQ people are more likely to face unemployment and the impact of this can be much greater because they may not be able to rely on wider social networks. Cuts to services for older and disabled people will have a much greater impact on LGBTIQ people, who are less likely to have children and will be more reliant on public services. So, restoring the public realm contributes to equality and diversity. Commented on Twitter (link)

- Celia Foote, Alliance For Green Socialism candidate for Leeds North East, has made the pledge. Made the following comment: I endorse and fully support the aims of this campaign. As I understand it there is a legal requirement for babies to be registered as either female or male within 6 weeks of birth. For some babies it is difficult to make this identification but the law does not allow for this. This is an indication of how the legal system constrains, from a very young age, the lives of thousands. I believe that many "straight" people would support these pledges if only they were given information and educated about the issues. I hope that ignorance and inhibition falls victim to this campaign.

- Katharine Harborne, Conservative Party candidate for Barnsley East, has made the pledge. Made the following comment: I want to ensure equal opportunities for all people, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender identity – including those who identify themselves as non-binary. Conservatives have actively promoted and protected the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. We have seen real progress made towards eliminating discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, including introducing legislation to enable same-sex couples to get married, extending the sentences for hate crimes against transgender people and tackling homophobic bullying in our schools. I understand the concerns of people who want to have their gender recorded differently on their passport, but this is a complex issue, particularly given the risk that people might encounter difficulties with entry restrictions into other countries. I would want to consider these issues carefully, and study the experience of those countries which have done it before making any proposals for change. Conservatives are working to remove barriers that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people can face and to advance their opportunities in all areas of life, in order to secure a stronger community for everyone and a better future for Britain.

- Lucy Rigby, Labour Party candidate for Lincoln, has made the pledge.
- Luke Taylor, Liberal Democrats candidate for Battersea, has made the pledge. Made the following comment: The Liberal Democrats have a long and proud history of fighting for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT+) equality. I strongly believe that trans individuals should enjoy equal rights and equal treatment in every aspect of their lives. It was in 1998 that our party first supported the right of people to legally change their gender on their birth certificate. In 2011 we set out the first ever Government transgender equality action plan too. This is helping to break down barriers not just in schools and workplaces, but in healthcare and wider society too. The Liberal Democrats played a crucial role in helping to bring about the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, and we were the first of the three main parties to support equal marriage. The Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act allows a person who is trans to change their legal gender without this automatically ending their marriage. Liberal Democrats passed a motion at our Autumn Party Conference in 2014 where we called for further progress. We support reviewing the Gender Recognition Act, which could lead to important changes. For example, trans individuals whose marriages were terminated should have them reinstated if both partners are in favour. Our 2015 manifesto says that we will help to stamp out transphobic bullying in schools, which we know can blight the lives of young people. Lib Dems also support the right of trans individuals to have an ‘X’ gender marker in their passport if they wish. And we support the inclusion of positive images of trans individuals in central government publications too, so that trans communities are more visible. Our party values fairness, celebrates diversity and challenges ignorance and conformity. We believe that every person, regardless of gender, should have the chance to lead a happy and fulfilling life free from prejudice and discrimination. The work of the group Liberal Democrats LGBT+ also helps to inform party policy on transgender issues. As of April 2015, 37 of the Lib Dem candidates standing in this election identify as LGBT – one of whom is trans. My party will always campaign tirelessly for the rights of the trans community. I hope that the Liberal Democrats are back in government after 7th May so that we can continue the vital work that we have started in this parliament.
