Transgender people are human beings identifying in thought, word, and deed with their true inner self.  Discrimination in public access because of appearance is identical to the same denials by states in the past for skin color or other appearance.  The same was set in law to criminalize all homosexuals at the state level.  The worst of these laws are being slammed through one party legislatures in the Old Confederate South tied to fundamentalist religion dominating politics.  One more Red Herring to impose draconian dictatorship separating the populace into class castes of good and evil.  The Bill of Rights guarantees individual freedoms.  The states deny them.  Rest rooms are for bodily elimination.  Gender should have nothing to do with it.
