Because I don't think people should be able to walk in whichever bathroom they want just because they "feel" a certain way. Bathrooms (and certain other places) are separated by gender for a reason and "feelings" don't change those reasons.

Do you realize how many transsexuals attempt to commit suicide? It's about 41%:

Discriminating against them further will only make things worse. It's not like they decide "hey, I guess that I'll be a girl today, let's just walk into the women's bathroom." That's not how things work. Now, I'm not sure what your reason is for bathrooms being seperated by gender, but I assume it's because of risk of sexual assault. Well, transgenders are much more at risk of being sexually assaulted than sexually assaulting others:

The suicide rate is so high because these are deeply disturbed people. They need help, they certainy don't need their delusions encouraged. The suicide rate is the same for pre and post op transexuals, which is a clear demonstration that pandering to these delusions does not help. A man thinking he is a women, or identifying as a women, does not make him a women. If a 30 year old man identified as a 9 year old, should this be respected also, should he be allowed to attend Elementary School?
