This is a wizard I play in D&D. His name is Argyle Chudwell Wadsward IIII and he is an obnoxious noble who is one bad day away from becoming a supervillain.  It was kind of a joke that he looked like Eggman, but events in the campaign has sort of put him on track to building a robot-golem army and maybe someday he can fly around in a magic bucket, here’s hoping.

this is character development

Transphobes aren't attacking bathrooms randomly. It's not about protecting women and children, it's about preventing trans people from participating in public life.

Access to toilet facilities are essential to being able to participate in public life.

It's why society was so reluctant to introduce public bathrooms for women, because before that all public bathrooms were for men only.

It's why society was so reluctant to desegregate toilets for Black people.

It's why society was and is so reluctant to create disability-accessible bathroom stalls.

If a person can't access a toilet, then it's extremely difficult to impossible for them to participate in society.

So, the best way to exclude a group of people from society without putting up a literal sign saying "x group of people not allowed" is to prevent them from accessing the bathroom.
