I hate to bother you like this, but...
I really hate to bother you like this, but this is important enough for me to do it.
I am going to quote the website instead of writing something up myself, because the website does a good enough job explaining it.
If you want to do me a huge favor, sign this petition to help fight a great injustice in my country.

Transexuals in Denmark are being humiliated greatly. They are defined as sick, and they are not covered by the anti-discrimination laws. If they want to change their body to fit better with their mind, they have to go through years of humiliating evaluations at the 'Sexological Clinic'. This usually ends with a 'No' to treatment, not because they are not transexuals, but because they do not fit with the Sexological Clinic's very narrow definition of what "real transexuals is". Some doctors have chosen to help trans people by prescribing hormones without the approval of the Sexological Clinic. But now the health authorities have prohibited doctors from prescribing hormones to transgenders not approved by the Sexological Clinic, which means that trans people who have taken hormones for years and whose physical appearance depend in this, are forced to be evaluated by the Sexological Clinic. This takes a year, at least, and in that time the trans person will be without hormone treatment. This is a disaster for the trans people depending on treatment. Some will try unsafe hormones bought online, while others will be hit by heavy depression and maybe even take their own lives. Please sign this petition and let the Danish health authorities know that it is not ok to take treatment options away from trans people! Translation to sign the petition: fornavn: ( firstname ) efternavn: ( surname ) by: ( city/town ) land: ( country ) The UK is listed as Storbritanien Skal din underskrift være offentlig?: ( Do you want your signature to be public?) ja (yes) nej (no) BOTTOM: skriv under på denne underskriftindsamling: (sign this petition)

It's no big deal. Everyone deserves to be treated the same way. They're just people, not some kind of aliens.

That's terrible!  What is it with people trying to tie other people in knots over gender.

It is horrible indeed. A small handful of people sit at the top of our healthcare authorities, and I have a strong suspicion that one or more of them are strongly prejudiced...

Timeless, could you translate the terms "By" and "Skal din underskrift være offentlig?" please? I'm not particularly well informed of the Danish language and wish to sign it.

"By" means city and "Skal din underskrift være offentlig?" means "Do you want your signature to be public?"
