Assuming individual cubicles
The obvious solution and has worked in somewhere like the Commie pool for years, possibly decades now.

I suppose there are still issues. A lot of places aren't set up in such a way currently and there are costs involved in converting. A lot of the support for these shared spaces, anecdotally at least, seems to be from men (cis men for clarity). I think we forget our privilege when it comes to such things. We are the physically dominant person in those scenarios in such cases and when you look at the statistics around women who have been subject to sexual abuse or even 'just' unwanted advances then you can see why they may be more wary of sharing changing spaces with men. I posted some time ago about my experience in such a space. It was no real problem for me as such but the discomfort of the others in the room made me uncomfortable. There is a degree of arrogance to say 'well it doesn't bother me so it shouldn't bother anyone so just get on with it'. Anyone who has ever played football or been to the gym knows there are guys who love to peacock about as well. Strolling about with their cock flapping about, leg up oh the seat whilst they dry their arse etc etc. Are we trusting them to modify their behaviour if there are women and kids present?

I found the nurse at the centre of that NHS tribunal objectionable in about every way possible. She seemed rude, deliberately misgendering the doctor in court was just spiteful imo and the rest of her politics were abhorrent (to me). In that instance I think she was right though. For me that comes back to the nuances of the whole debate and people looking beyond their own situation. I sympathise with both sides. I've never had any conflict about my sex so I don't feel in a position to say 'just use the changing room for your biological sex'. I don't understand the issues that can cause someone mentally. Equally I'm not a woman (or a man uncomfortable with such things) so just saying 'all changing rooms are now unisex so get on with it' isn't really on either.

I'm genuinely stumped as to how you please everyone here.
