    I think unisex toilets are necessary for changing tables (the table for changing diapers of babies). Out of the two genred bathrooms i’ve seen, i’ve rarely seen a changing table accessible to men (often only in women toilets). It makes awkward situations, which does not take place if there is a unisex room to do this.

      Most places in England I’ve seen have an accessible toilet (for wheelchair users etc) in addition to male and female blocks, and the baby changing is in the accessible one.

      I agree but if it makes it awkward for you, then you can also make it awkward for everyone. There’s tons of “mobile” diaper changing equipment available, we had one which you just unfold, had a cover to lie on that was possible to take off separately if something happened.

      Then you just find a table anywhere and if anyone complains you can point out the lack of changing tables in men’s toilets.
