The SEATAC airport has a few non-gendered restrooms and they’re pretty nice. There’s a big shared area with sinks, a wall of “stalls” (really fully enclosed toilet rooms, no panel gaps and floor to ceiling doors), and a separate room off in the back with urinals (and an automatic sliding door). Kinda seems like a pretty good solution all around.

Just get rid of gendered toilets already. If you can’t play nicely with it, you shouldn’t have it.

It’s close, but sometimes women really do need the whole room as private gendered space, eg to wash blood off clothing.
The best solution is that each stall has its own sink, but that isn’t usually practicable as it takes up more space and reduces the total number of stalls. Five Guys manage it, though.

I’m sorry. Care to explain? Wash blood off clothes? I can’t imagine women standing ass naked in a bathroow washing up her panties and trousers because she got period blood on them? In that case, they can use the disabled room.
In all my years, i have never heard of this and i lived with a very oversharing mother (midwife and sex ed teacher) and with my wife being very open about these things. (Because it’s normal body routines, nothing to be embarrassed about in a relationship)

You need urinals in some fashion, a row of standing urinals can be pretty private if you just have a tall divider, but their throughput is so much higher it would be terrible if you lost them in high traffic areas.

I don’t think you understand what the word “need” means

lol you assume that the doors have to be open. you can have floor to ceiling doors like places with gender neutral bathrooms do
