Ok, but I'm still confused that single person restrooms get marked as for one sex or the other. Like, if only one person will ever be in there, does it really matter who? The only difference is that one usually has a urinal while the other doesn't. And then there are places that only have one toilet in the building in the form of the all-accessible restroom. It should only really matter when several people may be in the restroom at the same time

I guess, given women's particular needs, a women's single cubicle toilet might need waste disposal for sanitary products and perhaps a sink internal to the cubicle to allow handwashing after dealing with said sanitary products. They could, of course, put them in both but that might not be easy when one cubicle is smaller than the other for instance.

Well, I'm not talking about bathrooms with any cubicles in them, but a small room with a wheelchair accessible toilet, a sink, baby changing station, and other assorted items to include trash, sanitary waste, and sometimes a urinal. They're often labeled as "Family restrooms" when there's only one or it is separate from two larger, segregated restrooms. Yet if a place has two of these functionally unisex family restrooms, they insist on segregating them. Since only one person is ever in there, the urinal is pointless, so any waste disposal can take that spot, and then they'd be identical besides some decoration that is often exclusive to the female restrooms

I’ve been to places in Ireland with single- occupancy toilets, and until recently all of them were for one sex only. For instance, a restaurant would have two rooms, each of them with a toilet, a sink, a mirror, a toilet paper dispenser, a hand dryer, soap, a light, a lock for the door... the usual. And one of them would be for men only, and the other one would only be for women. The logic behind this is that women need to pee more often than men.

When I was in Portugal with my family 17 years ago, we’d go to restaurants with single occupancy toilets, except the women’s had a bidet (according to my sister) while the men’s had a urinal.

The way I've seen it in Australia, it's usually single occupancy for men, the other for women and disabled people, even though it means disabled men somehow can't use the men's one?

WTF? Are disabled men lesser men in Australia or something?

They didn't want to make both disablility friendly because it would cost more, so they retrofit womens single occupancy bathrooms.

I feel sorry for disabled men in Australia.

If I may, spy cams. Unisex bathrooms make it easier for fetishists to plant these. Dare you to search "spy cams in public bathroom". Not every woman wants to be internet wankfodder for strangers.
