It was a first for me. We went to an art museum last week and when we had to go we had to go. Only we were trying to figure it out. There was a little sign saying that all restrooms weren't gender specific, although urinals were only available in one room. There was also one single/family restroom.
The sign was in English. Over each door was a blank triangle, so that was kind of confusing. As a practical matter it looks like all they did was change the signs. The urinals all had standard partitions and the stalls were all pretty standard ones with visible cracks. Outside of getting over hangups of being in the same room, I don't think anyone was shocked. I guess All McBeal covered this 20 years ago, but I'd never been to a restroom in a public place like this. On top of that there were some foreign visitors who might not have been able to pick up on it. Even those who understood some English might not have been able to understand the signs.
I'd been to a dorm restroom years ago where it was all gender. However, it had no urinals and the stalls were all designed to cover the cracks, with the doors and partitions all the way down to the floor and about 8 feet high. This one last week seemed to be more of a "mind your own business and you'll be OK" thing.
