True, but after you’ve seen a few of these, you realize that what really takes up unnecessary space is all the architecture required to have fully separate his-n-hers bathrooms. One big room with fully enclosed toilets and a single line for all users comes with all kinds of efficiencies.
Agreed, in theory. In practice for certain locations, it’s not the best idea.
Fair. I’ve never seen one in an airport, for example, where unavoidable cultural mixing would create conflict. But malls, restaurants, etc, those are entirely appropriate use cases.
My cynical view of humanity makes me think even those places would be a bad idea, but perhaps you’re right.
How about law firms? 
As I said, I see them with some frequency here. No issues.
I almost brought that up.
It’s almost like having one line for a bank of port-o-potties.
That’s exactly right. Just inside and (usually) cleaner.
One of the major inefficiencies it solves is that it makes irrelevant any variations in the gender ratio of the users. This is especially valuable at, say, a convention center, where different events may have vastly different proportions of men and women from one to the next. Instead of some arcane calculus to derive the ideal size of the separate facilities to serve all possible scenarios, you just make a toilet room with twenty unisex toilets, distribute several of those rooms around the facility, and have done with it.
I’ve often wondered how, say, a stadium, would handle a Taylor Swift concert, given the typical demographics of both an NFL audience and a Swift audience.
You do lose a little efficiency, in that all of your fixtures need to be toilets, not urinals which take up less room. But removing the gender-balance inefficiencies probably more than makes up for that.
That leads to unnecessary injuries.
I took SunLass to a One Direction concert just over a decade ago at an NFL stadium.
The stadium is a newer construction which already had a slightly larger number of women’s facilities. They converted a few of the men’s rooms to women’s rooms for the event, meaning I had to walk halfway around the stadium to find a restroom when nature called. (On the way back, I found that if I had turned the other way when I got to the concourse, I would have gotten to the bathroom much faster.)
The “conversion”, by the way, involved signage. I have no idea what was done inside the men’s-to-women’s rooms - perhaps they roped off the wall of urinals?
Sea-Tac airport has at least one, with an adjacent room (with a door) with a bank of urinals.
Go fuck yourself, McCormick. I don’t care if you knew about the autism angle or not, and of course Mom’s for Liberty are part of it.
I have personally witnessed the ability of women to use urinals. It appeared fairly easy, but I cannot speak for women in general. Just my friends.
ETA: plus an anecdote - an ex g/f of mine was once pissed off (alcohol fueled) that men could piss on the fire, at the end of the evening drinking and time to go to bed.
She climbed up above the fire and let loose. She did not expect the smoke and steam.
She learnt the reason why males have a directionally controlable urinary system.
Why rope off the urinals?
It just occurred to me that the story in my post might be paywalled. This one might be better.
The heart of the misleading nature of the event was a local activist named Sheila Armstrong, who is a Black woman who ran for city council as a Democrat but is now a Republican. Her politics appear to be driven by her conservative religion.
She approached the store manager, Mike Sfida, about an Autism Awareness event, and she has a nonprofit autism organization. So he said yes.
She didn’t mention she also works (volunteers?) as a liaison for McCormick in the city, so she was actually arranging a campaign stop. But it has an autism element because she made a speech. 
And she’s a member of Mom’s for Liberty, a racist and anti-trans group. She dismissed the racism because “this is Philly, we have laws against that so it can’t happen here”.
She also has a history of political deception. In 2022 she spoke at a Philidelphia community roundtable without disclosing she was a paid staffer for Dr. Oz.
Ever since I saw this picture as a kid, I have wondered how the people shown there ‘relieved themselves’
Colorado court administrators are investigating threats against a district court judge and its staff after a former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters was sentenced this week in an election case.
District Court Judge Matthew Barrett sentenced Peters to nine years in prison on Thursday and disparaged her push of discredited claims about rigged voting machines in the 2020 presidential election. After the sentencing, the court staff started receiving both praise and threats, prompting the courthouse to add security.
“The Mesa County Sheriff’s Office is investigating multiple threats made to courthouse staff following the trial verdict on Thursday,” Mesa County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Wendy Likes told The Hill in a written statement.
