Every time gender segregation is brought up around bathrooms and changing rooms, it is as an excuse for why real privacy isn't necessary. It's invoking the single-sex defence against loss of dignity. It's the "Well, that doesn't count," move. I do not agree that it makes any difference. If I have to excrete or undress with an audience, it's not any better for the audience to be segregated.

The number of women I wanted to share my bathroom experience with was zero. The number of men I now want to share my bathroom experience with is also zero. The number of times I reinserted an unwashed mooncup because there was no private sink was not zero.

Bathrooms should be fully enclosed, lockable, individual rooms, with sinks and sanitary bins in every room. Everything less than that is a loss of dignity, and "only people of your own approximate gender presentation can see or hear you" is not a meaningful mitigation. We all deserve real privacy in the bathroom.
