In the UK, where bathroom bans are a thing now, I've seen a lot of places brand the accessible bathroom as "gender neutral" as well.
The whole situation sucks, but it's nice seeing that people are taking steps to protect women from cunty cis women.
I don't think I have ever seen a gendered accessible bathroom where I live (Germany) since places usually only have one, but they aren't really usable as a gender neutral bathroom since you usually need a special key to access them, which is restricted to those who need them. I've only seen gender neutral bathrooms twice, once in a bar in Polen where they had a small hallway with some sinks and 4 rooms adjacent to it, each with a single toilet and during eurofurence where they replaced the bathroom signs with their own marking them as either only men, only women or gender neutral. The signs also said what was in them (urinals, stalls, period products). In both cases people did not care about who was using them since everyone just wants to get done quickly and get back out.
They're not usually gendered here either, I more mean they're explicitly being marked as neutral rather than just "disabled". At my work they have a combined male+female sign on them as well as the weelchair guy. I was at a convention and they had "Gender neutral bathroom" on a printed out piece of paper stuck to them.
I've personally never seen any (they're probably only down in England) but supposedly locked disabled toilets are a thing here. But you can get the keys fairly cheaply online and LGBTI charities are giving them out now.
Its thrown me off when you said "women" without a distinction about a "trans woman" but made the distinction "cis women". It's correct and more understandable to make the distinction "trans women" and leaving "cis women" as "women". Its more proper and understandable. Dont get all cranky on me.
People are going to get cranky when you go around telling people how to speak "more proper and understandable". Who the fuck are you? Lol get outta here with that bull shit
Someone who actually got an education?
Because they are talking about protecting all women from certain cis women.

Nah. Those bigots are absolutely going to go off on women that happen to look the slightest bit masculine, regardless of their gender identity.
What does this mean?
I believe they are saying that cis women treat trans women as badly as cis men do and that this offers trans women some chance of actual privacy.
