My suggestion would be to tell management (or the owner if there is one) that their virtue signaling is going to cost them good female employees when they leave the company due to disgusting conditions and they’d better fix it pronto.

In the meantime, could you put a camera outside the door so you can see who goes in and out and try to catch the worst culprits and public shame them into being more respectful?

Kind of a dumb idea because the only way it works is if you insoect the bathroom after each person uses it. Who is going to do that?

I grew up in a home with a brother, father and grandfather in my home. We all shared the bathroom. No big deal.

These were your family members. I also change my clothes in front of my kids. Should I do that at work as well?

You change in front of your brother, father and grandfather? Nasty weirdo

I worked for years in a place with all gender bathrooms. I never actually noticed they were all gender. They were always clean.

Yeah I have avoided American mixed gender bathrooms for years for exactly this reason .

This. If the men are messy, then the men's room is messy. Office needs more frequent cleaning service either way.

Easy solution.

I went to college where dorms had bathrooms with stalls. All genders. If college-aged people can be not gross, then office-going people can be not gross.

Troll.

Transgender people are so incredibly rare so this isn’t a real concern. And women are generally more gross than men in the bathroom. Men can stand and urinate into a urinal. Women hover and pee all over the seat. They are completely disgusting.

Hire a janitor for public restrooms.

Cross gendered buddy system. Any woman seeking to use the restroom must be accompanied by a man and vice versa. They inspect eachother's stalls before leaving to keep everyone honest.

I don't even like sharing with the men in my own house. They are really gross. I keep a toilet cleaning kit next to each toilet, and I often have to use it just to be able to use the bathroom. I'm fine with trans ladies in the ladies room, but no men please. Yucky and also awkward at work.
