There are two single stall bathrooms and the one for your sex is being cleaned, out of order or has twenty people waiting. I have for all of those reasons. And where the womens room was out of order and not many people around I've used the multi stall mens. Anyone else?
I've accidentally used the wrong restroom before, when I was taking my son to go fairly late at night after driving home all day from a family vacation. Luckily I don't think there were any women in there, or at least I didn't hear any screams. But I realized after we walked out why there weren't any urinals in there.

The solution, in my mind, is education. If we dispel the ignorant views about what transgender is and isn't, we can make significant changes in a pretty short time, like with gay marriage.
I think getting baby boomers (I'm on the cusp at 1962) to accept uunisex restrooms would be easier than getting them to accept transgenders.
Making two sex restrooms uunisex is not burdensoom. Change the sign add a screen around the urinals. Done.

At my parents restaurant the health inspector made us change the single handicap stall in the men's restroom. It was anchored to the wall incorrectly and the rails were too far away from the toilet.
The quote for the single stall was a little less than $1200.
That was burdensome for my parents struggling restaurant. Changing building codes would be a huge thing.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Changing building codes is always a big thing. How would opening both doors to both sexes change building codes?

Even simpler, get rid of public toilets for everyone. That way nobody is discriminated against.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Nope this is only about restrooms. I don't care what you think about transgenders.

Is that why British alleys always smell of pee?  In fairness so do American parking garages. I hate to see how it smells if we start dumping too. . . .

Yes, we could just pee in the street like they do in India.
