I imagine that would be the interim solution for existing buildings, until building owners decide to close one restroom, take out all the plumbing, and turn it into a storage closet.
But for new buildings under construction, it would be a simple matter to design them with a single unisex restroom for each floor.
And then again, I guess building owners wouldn't
have to go to unisex restrooms, but they'd have to make sure they are clearly marked as not unisex. Not that it would matter much because there would still be individual stalls for people do conduct business in.

I think looking at Gender-Neutral solutions is a good idea for public areas to start looking into. How they go about it--well America is full of ingenuity. Let's put it to use. I don't think it should be law any time soon, but searching for a solution should start.

Free urostomy/colonostomy combo surgery for those that are having issues?
Would give them two more orifices to worry about.

Bathroom Wars? I want that game. When's it coming out? And do I get to shoot people with my pee pee?

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

The only reason I would be against it is due to my experience cleaning public restrooms as part of jobs I had as a teenager. It may be counterintuitive, but women's restrooms are 1000 times nastier than men's.

Well no. That might lead to riots:

I cleaned a few in my youth, and you are right. But unisex ones in my experience are cleaner than either.

This whole thread makes my skin crawl . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
