I would suggest that someone born as a male, but identifies as a woman might have "issues", but we got to make laws to make them more comfortable; right? I am unaware of any rampant abuse of transgenders in public facilities currently and if so I'm sure there are laws currently in place to protect them against physical abuse. Do you think perhaps they are ignorant of these laws?

There bis a big difference between people having issued with something that poses no threat of any harm or embarrassment (being in the same room with w transgender person) and transgender people having concerns about their own safety based on a history of violence against them just because they are transgender.
There are all sorts of people who have "issues" in our society. We do not shape public policy to placate those people with irrational fears (fear of the color green, fear of being in the same room with a transgender person) because their is no real threat to their safety. But we do shape public policy to protect those who have a history of being victimized based of their beliefs or appearances.
