This got a genuine LOL out of me:

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull [said] “I am frankly astounded that anyone would even question a woman’s right to do this. As for the Human Rights and Equality Commission not endorsing these stickers, I have no idea what that means.”

I've not seen any unisex toilets in transit stations other than at Victoria coach station

According to TRAs, and according to those who follow guidelines produced by TRAs, all toilets are mixed sex.

I’ve seen these in toilets in a park in Hertfordshire

Are scotrail toilets really unisex?
In the stations?

Are they using the number of toilets on trains to fudge that statistic?

I've not seen any unisex toilets in transit stations other than at Victoria coach station.

The word unisex is deeply problematic though, I'm quite sure. Has anyone asked gregor Murray for a statement?

A spokesperson from the Equality Network said: “Single-sex women’s toilets are legally open to all women, including trans women

Hmm

I already some of those!

If being female and demanding our rights is transphobic then I'd say that definition of transphobia is a pile of wank.
