Much like with healthcare, all this bullshit with who uses what bathroom is a solved issue in other parts of the world.
… but being an American I assume it will never happen because building bathrooms to respect human privacy and dignity probably costs wealthy commercial property builders and owners at least $1 more than doing the bare minimum required by building code.
The solution, if you’re wondering, is that there isn’t a giant ladies’ room and giant men’s room. There are several individual bathrooms, each with its own little sink to wash hands and a real door. It doesn’t even take up much space. It’s just a short section of hallway with 3-4 doors on each side.

I went into one of those toilets you describe not too long ago in a restaurant
It was a pleasant novelty to have ‘my’ own individual space
It seems a practical solution for a problem that some dickheads are making for people that they’re unlikely to ever meet
Edit spacing
I’d just start by building toilet stall without gaps in the door so wide that people can see into the stalls whenever they walk past.
I heard that’s something American companies do on purpose, so that you don’t spend any longer than needed in there, using company time.
