Gender neutral? To make a historical comparison, consider race segregated bathrooms. At one time we had "white" bathrooms and "colored" bathrooms. Now we just have "all race" bathrooms. There are some people who think we should do the same with gender discrimination. Some (myself included) say we should do this even if not for transfolk.
California's bill (as I understand it) does not go nearly this far. Instead, it only requires that all single-occupancy bathrooms be gender neutral; and I have yet to meet a single person who even pretends to understand why he have gendered single occupancy bathrooms.

If there's space for two single-occupancy bathrooms, I think most people prefer it. Women don't like putting the seat down and think pee on the floor is pure carelessness. Men don't like putting the seat down and are grossed out by period blood. If it means the bathroom has a urinal, even if single-occupancy, I think most men would prefer that.
- tarboreus 10y agoThis is overstated. Most people would prefer the optionality of using more bathrooms, and anecdotally I've noticed people ignoring gender designations on single-occupancy bathrooms.
