As long as there are urinals. No urinals then I'll piss on the wall.

I think unisex toilets are necessary for changing tables (the table for changing diapers of babies). Out of the two genred bathrooms i've seen, i've rarely seen a changing table accessible to men (often only in women toilets). It makes awkward situations, which does not take place if there is a unisex room to do this.
Most places in England I've seen have an accessible toilet (for wheelchair users etc) in addition to male and female blocks, and the baby changing is in the accessible one.
I agree but if it makes it awkward for you, then you can also make it awkward for everyone. There's tons of "mobile" diaper changing equipment available, we had one which you just unfold, had a cover to lie on that was possible to take off separately if something happened.
Then you just find a table anywhere and if anyone complains you can point out the lack of changing tables in men's toilets.
Except old dudes just use those bathrooms to take dumps all day so it always stinks in there.
Them: Using a toilet for an intended purpose
You: How very dare you 😱
Lol, I really don't care. I'm a cis gendered dude and I'm completely comfortable using the men's bathroom. It just defeats the stated purpose to have a 3rd bathroom for people who feel uncomfortable in the other 2.
Side note: for the love of god if you shit at work clean up after yourself. Bring baby wipes if you have to.
No one cares which port-a-potty you use (as long as it is unoccupied)
I’ve heard the argument that as soon as there is one common bathroom, women will get stalked and raped in there….
Sorry to burst your bubble but if someone wanted to attack you, it’s not a triangle dress on a sign that would have stopped them.

There's a restaurant near me that doesn't want to do unisex bathrooms because politics. Even though they're single occupancy.
But if someone is waiting for the gender-specific bathroom, they'll regularly tell them they can just use the other one.
🤷♂️
Oh you see that at bars all the time. Utterly stupid.
When I was at university in the late 2000s they did that with the university toilets, there was just a row of them off a corridor, all self-contained with a sink in everything, half of them were male and half of them were female, but there was literally no difference. No one ever paid any attention to the signs on the doors. No one ever cared back then.
Try this one European secret, also no more gaps around the stall doors please.
Some people are citing safety concerns at bars, but the whole architecture of public restrooms could be engineered for bar safety. Real doors on stalls and glass doors or walls between the general area and sinks.
American stall doors are a crime.

Crimes are a stall
A lot if not most of Europe still uses gendered bathrooms. But yeah, no gaps.
Oh yeah name every European bathroom. Would you say most have an attendant and charge a small fee?
We have 1 unisex bathroom (literally 1 toilet) on the entire campus here, tucked away in a corner. I only ended up finding it by accident in my 3rd year. I personally would be in favor of removing the distinction everywhere, but I doubt that's going to happen. There was some strange blowback from some people who didn't like the change. On one hand, it felt pretty weird considering 99% of students didn't even know of the existence of said toilet before, but it became clearer to me after seeing how it was communicated.
I went to a theatre a few months ago that had the bathroom setup with several stalls that had full floor to ceiling walls and doors and an open sink area. There was a wall blocking the view of the main entrance to the building, but it was open enough that, at least to me and granted I am a CIS white male, it seemed like a solid setup that didn't feel so isolating that were something to happen in there, someone would pretty quickly know.
I thought that style of setup should be the norm, honestly I think it's the weird stalls that don't actually block anything and have locks that 80% of the time are misaligned and broken that prevent us from having decent unisex bathrooms. Also, we don't need urinals they don't really save any room or anything.
The only other change I'd make with this setup is I'd probably have a separate room for baby changing stations just because the one example I had was small enough that if you had that in there, it would just be in the way of people trying to get in and out.
Don't tell the fascists that the bathrooms in their homes are unisex.

I went to an Alamo Drafthouse once with an interesting bathroom set up.
When you walk up to the restroom, there's a large bay of sinks. To the left is a door that leads to a room of urinals and to the right is a hallway of stalls. Everyone just goes where they need to and since the sinks are out in the open where everyone sees and passes by, there's more social pressure to wash your hands.
