I find it hard enough to use public toilets as it is so definitely wouldn’t want to use a mixed toilet. I would feel very uncomfortable .

My problem is I am not keen on going to a public toilet after some men. Particularly those who pee on the seat and or leave it up . Hence I avoid train loos if possible. I just prefer women only loos. I may be old fashioned, who knows.

Here is an extract from a very interesting article explaining why single-sex toilets are a good idea, in all parts of the world.

"[I]t seems to me, that toilets are a red herring. In fact, it is not difficult to provide individual toilets and many public places already have them. Their use as a validation tool (‘passing’ as a woman or imposing one’s own gender identity which is opposite to one’s own sex identity, sometimes aggressively so) seems to be the main point. This is done at the expense of and in tension with international campaigns for single-sex toilets for girls and women around the world."
