Ensure that female-only spaces (such as Lavatories) are trans-inclusive
Following the governments plans to safeguard and protect female only spaces, I wish for the government to allow these spaces to be used by trans women in an effort to also keep them safe.
Stopping the use of lavatories by trans people with "male" anatomy will force trans women to either use a disabled lavatory which may be required for a disabled patron or use a male lavatory. If they are forced to use the male lavatory this will out them publicly to others and with the increase of hate crime towards trans people in recent years it could put trans peoples lives at risk. It's important to use the lavatory of the gender trans people identify as in order to protect themselves.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
There is no evidence that the UK Government or Parliament are planning to change the law to prevent trans people from using facilities that match their gender identity.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government to review the single sex exemptions in the Equality Act 2010, if that's what you'd like to happen.
