What the petition asks
Allow trans women to be protected as legal women under the Equality Act. They should be allowed to use womens spaces.
Trans women are no threat to women. This act also puts trans women at risk. If a trans woman who very much passes as a woman enters a male bathroom, she will be put in danger. Also if a male passing trans man enters the womens bathroom, not only will children be scared, they will receive bad looks and fear from adult women as well.
