Generally, public spaces are gender neutral and transgender individuals have the right to use whatever restroom or other facilities they choose in accordance with their preferred gender identity. Legally, there is no basis for discrimination against transgender individuals in public spaces based on gender identity. There may be rare cases where a state or local law applies that allows organizations to implement some degree of discrimination against transgender individuals, but this generally requires express exception and must conform with established guidelines prohibiting intentional discrimination on the basis of race, sex, color or national origin under both Federal and State laws. Furthermore, the Department of Justice has clarified that Title IX forbids colleges and universities from discriminating against transgender students in federally funded programs when it comes to access to bathrooms and locker rooms on campus. It is important for organizations providing services in public spaces to adhere as closely as possible to equal rights laws with regards to preventing bias-based legal sanctions due simply because an individual has a different gender identity than their original assignation at birth.

There is no easy answer to this question, and it depends on the jurisdiction. Generally speaking, any public space should remain open to all people regardless of gender identity, and businesses may not legally discriminate against transgender people in public spaces. Furthermore, many cities and states have enacted anti-discrimination laws that specifically protect transgender individuals, so it is important to review applicable laws in order to ensure compliance.
