Target: Dictionary Companies
Region: GLOBAL
Background (Preamble):
This world has an extreme amount of ignorance. We should be accepting each other.
Gender is not just male and female. There are transgenders, males, females, no gender, the list could go on and on.
Why ignore all of those who don't fit into the majority? The minority has rights too. We're here to fight for it.

Petition:
We, the undersigned, call on the publishers of dictionaries everywhere, to remove the word 'gender' from their products, or to rephrase their definition of the word.
There is no longer a specific definition that applies to gender. Gender is not just male and female. Only promoting these two sexes as the options for a gender promotes discrimination towards others who do not fit into male or female categories.
No one should be forced into labels of what they are not. Help us destroy gender stereotypes, ignorance and accept each other equally.
