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.

Are there laws currently in place that protect transgenders from being physically assaulted in the use a facility compliant to their biological sex? You have yet to answer this question. If the answer is yes, then the only reason for a bill such as you suggest is for peace of mind.
