Isn't suffering a few moments of personal discomfort worth helping to ease the emotional and psychological torture these people endure on a daily basis? ESPECIALLY considering the prevalence of suicide among the transgendered community? Isn't that the very LEAST we can do for them as empathetic human beings? Isn't it the least you can do as CHRISTIANS?
What we can do for them is to love them as God loves them and as we love ourselves. Transgenders should do the same toward those who are different than them also. The fix isn't isn't allowing transgenders to use the bathroom of their choice, but in creating a situation in which they accepted in society as much as anyone else. Restrooms were never set up as separate due to gender identity, but as to sex. Believe it or not, that is very important to many people and always has been.
