Transgender people already use the bathrooms corresponding to the gender they live in. These laws are really about jobs, housing, access to credit (mortgages, auto loans, etc.). And Stephen (#1), do you have a gender identity? Do you sometimes dress as a man or as a woman? Then these laws protect you. They aren't just about your "trans brothers and sisters." These laws protect anyone from being discriminated against because they aren't as masculine or as feminine as someone else thinks they should be.
