The analysis of it is more complicated than that. Yes, they're both important issues. But there it's undeniable that the media likes to focus on controversial issues rather than than root causes.

When celebrities and corporations are boycotting North Carolina because of the bathroom issue, why aren't they also mentioning the deplorable revocation of worker's rights? We know that the biggest risk factors of harm for transgender people are homelessness and unemployment/underemployment that often results in turning to prostitution for survival, which staggeringly multiplies the risk for harm.

So why the sole focus on the bathroom issue (which again, I'm not saying is unimportant) and not the issues that affect day-to-day [i]survival[/i]? Because the bathroom issue is controversial, trendy, and a cheap way to declare your progressiveness (or on the opposite side, conservatism) without actually supporting root change.[/quote]
