Personally I think loos should be gender neutral and in this case what you've suggested would be best, having one gender neutral and one disabled. But a lot of people would have a problem with that too (I'd imagine more women would feel uncomfortable about that than how it is now) which is probably why they've done it this way. Whether they changed it to one gender neutral and one disabled, or switched it to female/disabled and male, or kept it how it is, men and women will be sharing a loo regardless. But if the problem is that some women are uncomfortable sharing with men, this set up is surely the best of those options as less women will be affected?

Ahh right I see
Yeah didn't think of it that way round
Should still be a disabled and a gender neutral though. Disabled people are less able to wait (generalizing obviously, not every single disabled person) which is why I also have a huge issue with able bodied people using disabled loos in general, totally ignoring the other issues
I would personally be happy for all loos to be gender neutral in the years to come. As long as they are proper stalls, ceiling to floor rather than the pitiful things we have now where sometimes you can see the other person.
How would more women have an issue and be affected by it being neutral and disabled though? I don't get that? Looks like the womens is already neutral? Might be totally missing the point again though like just now
