"The “bathroom” provision is about sex—“sex-based considerations”—and nothing else. The North Carolina law enacts a state definition of “physical sex” and makes the birth-certificate definition of sex binding on an individual. But trans people are people for whom the birth-certificate designation has proved to be erroneous. The weight of medical opinion supports them; to pretend, as the legislators did, that a trans individual’s gender identity is a subjective whim is at best ignorant—akin to climate denial—and at worst grossly dishonest."
So-called "leaders" leading from religion are by definition "ignorant" at best, and at worst, "grossly dishonest." I would add "possibly deluded," in which case they should not be in a position of authority.
