Until a few months ago, there is universal agreement particularly among women that men should not be allowed into female bathrooms and change rooms. There are relatively few transgender people according to New York at times estimates, and few had heard of them until recently to discriminate against them in long-standing bathroom arrangements.
This is not a case of sex discrimination. It is some people being rather unusual and not fitting into arrangements that suit everybody else. These arrangements regarding bathrooms, change rooms and privacy were crafted with absolutely no malice or hostility towards those who find them inconvenient such as transgender people. You just cannot please everybody.
There are certainly hostility and indeed violence against transgender people. That violence is by a minority full of hate looking for someone to hate on any criteria. There are some people are not nice and who take pleasure in being nasty and at times violent towards other people. That is separate from managing the long-standing human preference for bodily privacy.
Opposing discrimination is about telling people to stop being an arsehole. They have preferences about who they deal with that are appalling and mean. The segregation of bathrooms and changing rooms by sex is about a fundamental human desire for bodily privacy.
Utopia, you are standing in it!
