The way the issue of bathrooms was handled in Ireland is that you walk into a single room with stalls. All the stalls have a full sized door without gaps on the sides, top or bottom. Everyone washes their hands at the same sinks but everyone has privacy in their individual stall. Europeans tell me that they think that US single gender bathrooms are set up very strangely because our bathroom stalls lack any of the usual privacy they expect and get even in non-gender specific in bathrooms.
When I was in Israel, a very conservative nation, it was not at all unusual for the cleaning lady to be in the mens room while men were using the urinals. Basically Americans have the bathroom hang ups and nutters like Franklin Graham exploit our general prudishness.
I don’t care what person is in a bathroom stall as long as they flush before it is my turn to use it.
