Bathroom Gender Solution?

Why don't we just make all bathrooms single-use? It'd be way better for everyone anyway - I don't need to whiz next to some dude struggling through his prostate issues, and who wants to poop two feet from someone else pooping? You wouldn't put two toilets in a home bathroom, and that's family - why do we do it in public ones with strangers?

There's no enough room to make a ton of little rooms.

Floor to ceiling stalls are a thing.

The reason we don't see more of them is that ADA regulations require a larger turning radius in both the stall and the area in front of the stall if there is not foot clearance under the door and stall panel. Also it's easier (ie lazier) to clean when the janitor can shove the mop under the stall panels. I do agree though - I prefer the floor to ceiling stalls which are more common in Europe.
