Any opinions on this?

That the real solution is going to be having a third room, or private places to get changed.

Related: restrooms. Which restroom should Buck Angel be using when out in public?

Plus things get super messy when you take Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome into account, people with XY chromosomes but their bodies didn't react to androgens so they developed feminine bodies. That's a male genotype, with a female-like phenotype, and probably a female gender identity (usually they are raised female and only learn something is different when they never get a period). Biology doesn't want to make this easy.

Give people more privacy. Stop forcing them to change in front of other people if they don't want to.

Or if not third bathrooms, multiples of those "family" bathrooms where one person goes in at a time and can lock the door. That way everyone just uses their own bathroom. Pain for companies and expensive? Yeah sure, but it is an option. Smaller places could get away with this. A local ice cream store has a "family" bathroom and everyone just uses that regardless.
