On the matter of gendered bathrooms, why not just make individual toilets more private and have several unisex bathroom units? Isn't that more efficient in the long run? This would reduce congestion (for instance, lines at travel concourses), reduce the total area to be cleaned, avoid shutting down half or entire toilet areas for cleaning, allow differently abled persons to get the assistance and privacy they need, help families stay together, and help parents help their children.
I think the question we should be asking is why are schools having kids undress in front of each other (in locker rooms) even if they are same gender? Would individual changing areas be too much to ask? As we teach our kids to clothe themselves (modesty), to keep their nakedness covered in respect of both themselves and others (discretion), let's give them private, clean environments to care for their personal needs. Our kids deserve the safety, body confidence and dignity that would result.
