Of course discrimination makes it worse. But using a bathroom or another is not discrimination. Don't overestimate a simple thing as that. Let trans people use whatever bathroom they like won't save lifes. Also, don't oversimplificate the suicide question, people usually commit suicide for questions related to what THEY think of themselves, not what others think.

OK, so your argument is that they're going to kill themselves anyway, so we might as well force them to use a bathroom that they're not comfortable in?

No, for Christ's sake. We need to take care of this people and find ways to be supportive, so we can stop this trend of suicide. And not just suicide. At least down here, a great number of trans people involve themselves with drugs and prostitution. That's a real concern. But make people embarassed with them in the same bathroom won't help with discrimination. Make it even worse.  Maybe a transgender bathroom is a good way to go, just maybe. But before anything else, we have to make sure this people feel good with thelselves in a point where they don't feel bad about a bathroom.
