    The problem arises around trans people that are not perfectly “passing”.

    One can be a trans woman and look too male/gender neutral, and how should we treat that? We can’t run a gender check on everyone who enters.

      I wouldn’t mind a gender neutral bathroom as long as the other alternatives are still available. That’s fair.

        That already takes three types of bathrooms (which is often complicated to create, let alone rebuild), potentially outs person visiting it as gender-nonconforming, and still contains in it a restriction to use bathrooms of their gender for trans people.

        In my opinion, the best option is to just have cabins that have toilet, tap, and everything you may need. The corridor between cabins can be monitored, nothing special happens in there.

        This protects everyone, allows everyone to have maximum comfort, doesn’t introduce a problematic gendered restriction and just works.

        The only downsides are a slightly lower capacity and more complex plumbing.

          In the 3 bathroom scenario, I wouldn’t restrict trans people to the neutral bathroom. Everyone can go to the neutral gender bathroom, or they can go to one that matches their gender identity.

          Personally, I’d go to the neutral to pee and to male only to the a shit.
