What are your thoughts on the transgender bathroom rights bill that was passed by California lawmakers in 2013?

September 8th, 2015
Some excerpts from the attached article:
”Supporters said the bill is needed to protect students from bullying and other abuse.”
The question of when ”.....transgender students’ right to expression might conflict with other students’ discomfort and right to privacy.”
There are other points made by by opposing lawmakers, and are quoted in the article, such as:
”Parents, school administrators and school board members would have no say over students who identify themselves as transgender and enter shower rooms or bathrooms used by the opposite sex….warning that the privilege could be abused by youthful sex offenders.”
”...male athletes who are mediocre in competition against their own gender could game the system by competing against female athletes,”
Do you think those concerns are ridiculous or warranted?
Could this measure create more problems than it solves?
What are some alternatives that don’t favor one group of people over another, and one that everyone could live with?
