I know it is a meme, but males are well known for their rape habits, and a bathroom seems like the perfect place for that... So yeha, keep those divided please. Still, allow trans people to go wherever they feel comfortable. The percentage of trans people is too low to be a concern.

I get the feeling that if a man wanted to rape a woman a dedicated women's bathroom would be a better target.
In gender neutral bathrooms there might be another man in there instead of a woman, or a woman and a man. Also straight couples and mixed gender friends groups can go into gender neutral bathrooms together. I would say this is very likely to decrease the risk of rape crimes happening. Safety in numbers.

Personally there's been times while traveling that I wished my husband and I didn't have to separate to take bathroom breaks cuz we were at some sketchy, secluded rest stop off the highway. I would've felt safer with a gender neutral restroom in those instances.

Yeha, I think having a third gender neutral bathroom would be nice. But don't remove the sense of security some women get from women-only bathrooms.

I think most people feel comfortable with the division. I wouldn't mind going into the gender neutral to pee, but if I had to take a shit, I wouldn't want to do that next to women.
