protect gender identity as a federally protected class.

This petition is to obtain federally protected status for gender identity, making it illegal to segregate any publicly or privately held restaurants, businesses, resorts, hotels, etc. to deny service, access, or use of amenities, facilities, etc. based on one's gender identity. For example, this status would bar and nullify any so-named 'bathroom bills' created by state district, or local governments, allowing citizens to use the bathroom of their choice that most closely fits their identity. These types of bills, rules, and laws are harmful to individuals health, well-being, and general state of mental wellness, as it forces an individual to use facilities meant for the opposite gender of their own, which not only causes mental anguish, but potential physical harm from others as well.
