Okay, I'd like to mention something about Christianity right now, and I want to preface it by saying that I mean it sincerely (for once) and am not trying to mock anyone's beliefs (for once).
According to the Christian narrative, did Jesus not take pain and suffering onto himself out of love for you? Out of love for humanity? Did he not bleed and hurt; give his life selflessly so that you could be saved? Don't the teachings of Christ revolve around sacrificing your own comforts in order to help your brother?
Will some people be uncomfortable with the transgendered sharing their bathroom? Sure...but is being a bit uncomfortable the end of the world? Out of love for our fellow humans, and knowing the pain that those suffering from gender dysphoria experience (pain that can drive them to suicide), can't we as the majority do the selfless thing and bear the burden of occasional discomfort for the sake of helping those who suffer deeply and chronically?
Isn't our mild personal discomfort worth knowing that we are helping ease these people's pain? Can't we better here? Can't we be selfless?
