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?

You're going with a extreme case. I agree with you, but just in parts. Of course a 30 years old man identifying himself as a 6 years old girl is a problem. That person would never be happy in that way and need to accept who he really is. But, despite that I think a person wanting to change her gender or dress up like the other gender is not natural (that is just MY THOUGHT on the matter, but that means nothing, I'm not a psychologist  or a specialist in sexuality, I'm not calling it wrong or bad, just not natural, I DON'T HAVE PREJUDICE with any kind of people), there's nothing stopping a man of passing through a surgery to looks like a woman in every possible aspect and eventually find happiness with that, she would look in the mirror and feel like a woman. Could even forget her past as a man.
