I would think the government making laws banning folks from using certain bathrooms is very much a civil liberties issue.
But maybe it's common for US States to have laws telling men they are barred from women's toilets and vice versa, and everyone accepts those?
To me that sounds preposterous, but in such a society I could see the discussion arise.
TL;DR: if you substitute "trans" for "blacks" (or any other offensive term for a protected minority), does it become discrimination? If yes: it already was discrimination.
