   If violence/abuse without any cause is involved, then I would say yes.
   
   Otherwise no...i would have to question whether or not the people who do think they are being extreme (without violence or abuse), especially as if trans people suddenly decided to raise hell one day for no real reason, live in reality at all.

   Any mortal that is being persecuted for being who or what they are has the right to fight for equal ground...this is the core of the American constitution. This is the core of the human condition...one's gender should never play a part in any aspect of life.
   
   Gender is what it is. If a person is trans...then that is what they are...whether it be evolutionary or from birth. If a person becomes a man after living as a woman for decades so be it. The evolution of the species...it is an ongoing debate obviously, but for those who are not comfortable in their own skin and must find acceptance in another gender because it feels RIGHT...than it is right...and they have rights as valid as John, Jane or Paul Doe American. This is a simple question...it is not an issue to create confusion over...people going through transition are having enough instability in creating their new happy being.

   I don't know if it the Transgender people themselves who are being extreme.  Probably not them.  It's the LGBTQ and the liberals that are going crazy with forcing everyone to agree with them.  It's my honest opinion.

   No. As long as no violence is involved from the part of the Transperson (unless self defence).
   
   Asking for simple rights to be safe when out and needing to eliminate waste, should NEVER have stirred up this much bother. The media haven't helped - it's hiding the other issues brought in by HB2 - the stripping of the right to be free from discrimination in housing, healthcare and employment for anyone assumed to be LGBT.
   
   A human should have the right to be free of discrimination based on their sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or lack of, race, disabilities, political stance.
   
   Hell, I think that in the states isn't political affiliation a protected right to freedom from discrimination? It's a CHOICE! If I'm wrong, religion is still protected, and a choice. Yet something that isn't a choice (ask any gay or trans person if they choose anything about who they are) isn't protected.
   
   Trans people are merely asking for the law to be repealed - it was 'use gender identity bathroom' before HB2 and NO ONE had an issue.
   
   Are they becoming extreme? No. Those against them - screaming abuse through Target on the other hand....surely they have better things to do?

   They are demanding accommodations that are not rights.
   
   Sex segregation of facilities like bathrooms, showers, homeless shelters, dorms exist for the safety and privacy of women.
   
   To give mentally ill men (80%+ of trans are born male) biologically intact (fewer than a quarter have male organs removed) who are often still sexually attracted to women (hence the transgender lesbian designation) to demand access to spaces segregated for women's safety and privacy is insane, and validating someone's delusion does not help them recover from it.
   
   Note that they agree their brain isn't right for the body, but the solution is to mutilate the body, not treat the mental illness. When anorexics aren't happy with the fat they see, we don't give them stomach stapling surgery. When the "trans-disabled" try to remove limbs or blind themselves, we lock them up for their safety. Someone says I deny the biological reality toddlers understand, please pump me full of hormones and give me massive surgery - and in the name of proving there is no difference between men and women, liberals want to cater to them. And because the more exotic the class the more moral weight it is given, transgenderism trumps feminism.
   
   And if you truly believe there is a rape culture, you cannot in any way shape or form cater to the men who say they are women for the risk that they might rape as well as the men who would use the "gender fluid" category to say they are women today to access these spaces.
   
   We are morally required to say no to catering to these delusionals, for the safety and privacy of women. To say that privacy for women includes abortion but not having a mentally ill biologically intact man standing next to you in a shower free to stare and maybe do more is INSANE.
   
   And don't say it doesn't happen, because I've had to deal with one - and HR said it was a spat between two women and did nothing.

   In my opinion I think "rights" and accommodations are being confused. What you identify yourself as and what you are anatomically may be two different things. If you have a penis, you are anatomically a boy and should not be in the same restroom as a female. Not keeping the two segregated will bring more problems then good. There are a lot of unsavory individuals/pedophiles that will use this too their advantage.
