Gender neutral toilets, new loos, new signs, for HOW many ?

The extra expense is staggering so a few don't get offended.

Why would the extra expense be staggering? In fact, what extra expense would it entail?

I would imagine that there would be a cost to change things but in the long run it would benefit everybody.  Gender specific toilets have to be doubling up.  I have seen before queue in front of "ladies", and guys going in and out as the women wait.     And as the article says:

"Gender-specific restrooms can be unwelcoming and potentially unsafe for many people whose gender identity falls outside of traditional gender norms.

They also hope to make "public restrooms more welcoming and safer for transgender and gender nonconforming people, people with disabilities or with personal attendants and for people with children of a different gender".

Remember the child killed in the toilets while mother waited outside?
