I think he is thinking of the individual unisex cubicle type.

Great quote from a UKIP member (never thought I'd hear myself say that!!) -

David Kurten, London Assembly member for UKIP added: “The common sense solution is to have one or two unisex cubicles, which many public places already have, for everybody.

“Alongside that we also need to have separate women and men’s toilets and changing facilities. Particularly for women’s safety, we shouldn’t be opening up access to their toilets to those who are biologically male, however they identify.”

Gender neutral toilets are only ok when they are single cubicles with doors to the outside and when the cubicle has a sink and sanitary bin inside it.

Khan is mayor of a city in which groping and upskirting is endemic on the transport system. Can he not join a single bloody dot?

AFAICT it's just a request to consider, they aren't actually mandating anything specific.

It is amazing how many men are quite happy to trample all over our rights.

No women are calling for gender neutral toilets, because we know what its like to actually use a bathroom in public, as a woman.
Its irrelevant how the cubicles are designed. You have to walk through the space to get to the cubicle. Most men use the toilet as a toilet but they are a magnet for men that dont.
