I don't believe washrooms are the issue as stalls guarantee a level of privacy. The issue is changing areas where women undress - including biological males.

The real issue here is vulnerability and privacy is only one of many things  people use to deal with it. Security, another measure, is pretty scant in most public washrooms given the sort of latches assumed to be enough to assure privacy in them.

I would think between many transexual women feeling vulnerable going into men's public washrooms and feeling pilloried when using women's public washrooms that washrooms will simply have to change to accommodate.

There is also the fact that going to the bathroom can sometimes be socially awkward for some people especially for those where sex or sexuality factors into their awkwardness. They're just supposed to suck it up and get with thr program?  Good luck with that.

As for me I'll never forget the time I came out of a stall in a public washroom at Seatac airport.  It was completely empty except for the 3 Homeland security dudes with machine guns and curly little wires coming out their ears. They glanced into the stall to see if I'd left anything worse than a stink bomb behind and then followed me out to the parking lot door.  So yeah, I kinda get the washroom vulnerability thingy.
