Many new theatres are forcing shared communal toilets or converting existing toilets to be mixed use. One example being The National Theatre. The urinals are side by side with cubicles for mixed use.I agree that would make me uncomfortable, mainly because I think I'd be making them uncomfortable. But I have never even seen a shared toilet where there is a urinal in the same space as the sinks / cubicals. Obviously that is a stupid solution.
Gender neutral toilets are JUST TOILETS. I have one in my home. So do you. One person can go in at once. At many, many cafes, bars and restaurants the toilets are gender neutral... because there is only a small number of toilets. Cubicals separate from the sinks seems the easy solution.
Obviously doesn't stop men attacking women.
A gender neutral toilet at home is, you’ll admit, a stupid example made petulantly, as I was clearly referring to public toilets. Similarly, one single mixed use toilet in the back of a Starbucks is also different to a communal toilet area as described above.
