Please just let trans people live?

Two petitions for the same thing, one personal, one general:

Change Brianna Ghey’s death certificate!

Amend the Gender Recognition Act to allow for posthumous and expedited grants

16 year old trans girl Brianna Ghey was murdered in a violent attack. Due to gender recognition laws her death certificate refers to her as male. Brianna deserves better and she should be remembered for who she really was.
Trans people deserve equality even in death. Transphobia is rampant and we have to change it.

And hey, while you are signing petitions (UK peeps only):

Add your name: Don't let the government take away your right to vote
