Build non-binary public bathrooms.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Instead of only having male and female bathrooms in public places, build bathrooms for non-binary people to use as well.
So people who are neither male or female can have a bathroom that they are entirely comfortable going into.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The provision of public toilets is a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to provide local authorities with funding to provide non-binary toilets.
