Just do individual bathrooms you can close. Everyone prefers them anyway, why wouldn't you want to have an entire space you can lock down and do your business and move at your own pace?

Because that takes a lot of space. You still need to do plumbing. It's just easier to do cubicles and have shared sink instead.
Grocery stores do it, I think its manageable. Beats the hell out of a possible voyeurism/sex-pesty lawsuit or political grandstanding it inspires
Wtf are you taking about😂 it’s just 2 bathrooms. 1 occupant each. It’s not complicated. Turn the men’s into single use and the women’s into single use. Simple. This is only a problem for venues that want to heard people into bathrooms like cattle.
Stop making separate gendered toilets. Toilets just need floor to ceiling stalls with actual doors. No urinals (yuck) and then a row of sinks.
This is already the case in practically any Swedish white collar workplace.
Unless you're really into wiping piss of toilet seats you want there to be some urinals.
Or have education about how much piss goes everywhere when you pee. In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time, it is a cultural issue and can be changed. That said, if you do urinals, make them stalls too, I don't want to chat with my pee neighbour.
In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time
[x] doubt.
I don't even think that is true for the majority of men in their own home and it certainly is not for public toilets.
https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/sitzpinkler-german-men-pee-sitting-down/
"62% of German men sit down “every time” or “most times” when they go pee. That’s more than men in 12 other countries surveyed worldwide."
Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%).
See, not most men.
How did I know you are going to point that out. So smart.
Here is the part of the comment above you, that you disagreed with:
In Germany most men sit to pee most of the time.
Emphasis in bold courtesy of mine to help with reading comprehension to what comes next, namely the quote from the link I gave you:
Of all 13 countries, Germany was the one where most men sat down “every time” to urinate (40%). Add those who do so “most times” (22%), and you get the result shown on the map.
40 + 22 is 62. Which is most men.
Yeah and the times they won't sit down is when you're in a public toilet without an urinal. Which is exactly what we were talking about.
40% is not most men in Germany. They just have the most of the countries looked at. Two very different things.
Urinals can be spaced more closely than regular toilets. Only problem is that women (or anyone with female-appearing anatomy) don't have a nice way of using them.
No urinals (yuck)
As a man with a weak bladder, trust me, urinals are necessary for speed purposes.
All this moral panic about gendered bathrooms had been debunked ages ago. The TERF propaganda machine just kept throwing more and more fearmongering our way. It is good to hear that some countries take steps against this neo-segregation insanity.
Iceland actually does have a lot of those floor to ceiling stalls which is great
