@Uselessgeneration @alexisbushnell Places I have been molested by cis men hiding in loos pretending to be trans women : 0.
Places I have been molested by cis men often in broad daylight and/or in public and in any case with zero consequences: The street, public transport, pubs, hobbyish-clubs, event queues, my own home.
This petition has it spot on. None of the cruelty aimed at trans women will protect anyone from predatory cis men.
Professor Stephen Whittle OBE, famed UK Trans Legal activist from Press for Change, probably the most reputable trans person in the UK in regard to the law and affecting it, has put out the action plan guide stating that the best chance of influencing things is for trans people and allys to each write physical letters to their MP and 6 copies to specific other members of parliament.
He's provided the relevant facts to be included and laid out what you need to write.

This petition closes in 5 days and still needs another 1500 signatures to force a response. I'm surprised and disappointed this one hasn't gone further; it's well worded and would demand quite a different response to the usual "we left, tough" that most #RejoinEU petitions get.
Given that it has stated its aim of growing the UK economy, we think the Government needs to quantify the effects of exiting the European Union as soon as possible by setting up an inquiry.
