  Because installing them is still exclusionary to trans people, telling them that they do not belong to the gender they identify as and/or that they are a danger to the people of the gender that they identify as.

    And if a site has no gendered bathrooms at all?

      Then the UK law would require all such bathrooms to be single-occupant, something that may not be practical for large establishments where multiple patrons of each gender may need to use the bathrooms simultaneously.

      The genderless, single-occupant bathrooms argument is a solution derived for a non-existent problem; transgender women are women and transgender men are men and instituting policy that disregards that is discriminatory.
