Exactly what the law enforces will differ by jurisdiction
"I can understand the cautiousness from a business point of view but they’ve also got to be aware of diversity and people being different. They should not make assumptions on visible differences.
Isn’t that exactly what the law forces though? To somehow decide based on looks alone who should be in which toilet?

This is not devolved and I believe the law being refered to is the one that has been clarified in the recent guidance after a supreme court decision.
Health is normally devolved, but this is counted as “human rights”.

Couldn’t they also just not do that? Surely the law doesn’t require them to hire someone to police the toilets.
Gender neutral toilets could also get around it surely. Worked in multiple places with them and no one has ever cared.

It pretty much does. Not specifically to have someone dedicated to check everyone, but they have to take reasonable measures and a member of staff speaking up would fall under that.

Why though? Its a toilet. Couldn’t they just say the sign is only suggested genders. Women can clean men’s toilets still.
