I welcome unisex bathrooms but that's kind of a false comparison. Airplane bathrooms aren't communal, only one person can use the room at a time
How do you define "communal"? In Europe it's common to have fully enclosed "stalls" (basically rooms in themselves) - either with their own sinks or the sinks are indeed outside and shared by all.
In NA the stalls tend to be open above and below, never mind urinals which are just out in the open maybe with small "blinders" in between if you're lucky. Personally, I don't care, but I could see people being more shy in that situation.
In bars/clubs I imagine there'd be an issue of more people taking up stalls to hook up since you wouldn't need to be sneaky about entering/leaving the washroom any more, but maybe that's just trashy behavior that can't be helped anyways.

I looked up pictures of this airport's bathrooms and it's a standard shared sink counter situation. The toilets are, of course, private.
What you described exists here as well but I've never seen it in an airport
Fellas, is it gay to use a gender-neuttal bathtroom?
Why are americans so obsessed with toilets? Do they start the potty-training too early or too late?
The GoP needed a cultural political weapon. So they picked the weakest minority, gays and trans people. To use as a distractions, while they rob the public and destroy the country.
I know that the GoP politize the weird toilet obsession to use as a wedge (as they do with pretty much everything), but it feels like it has been a thing for much longer than that.
This isn't about trans people specifically, but the very existence of gendered bathrooms dates back to hilariously sexist 1800s ideas about how men and women should only be allowed to coexist at home. No surprise that religious fundamentalists continue to weaponize private spaces against anyone that doesn't fit their norms.
I was thinking about the very same thing yesterday and decided that men wanted to show their wieners to other men but not to women. I couldn't find any other reason for gendered toilets😅
Culture war has been their go to strategy since at least the Nixon administration.
I'm sure all the gender stuff is fueled by the right, but what about that huge gap in the door where you can look people in the eyes as they shit?
Or the water level?

I have gender-neutral toilets in my house, so do all my friends
In fact, every household I've been in had gender-neutral toilets
They worked out fine
I've had creepy guys stare at my dick in men-only toilets, I've never had a problem with it in gender-neutral
It stands to reason that the problem is segregated toilets
(actually, it's men, but I'm sure even here there will be the "nOt AlL mEn!" types)

"Outside" is the original unisex bathroom
Can we just get a bathroom design where they are a wall of stalls with a urinal and toilet inside and the hand washing station is on the outside without a door blocking the path? I hate bathroom doors after washing hands, especially when they don't have a way to open the doors without touching the handle. Just put the sinks outside the bathroom.
No one needs urinals.
Case in point: No one has one in their home.
Home bathrooms are single-occupancy, plus most people don't have the room. They're definitely beneficial for higher volume places as add much more capacity for less space, and act as an "express lane" of sorts.
Ah but the toilet sitters do appreciate how much less urine is on the seats and around the bowl. I would have a urinal in my home if I was to remodel my bathroom. They are convenient.
You can also just sit to pee, so that there's less urine on the seats and around the bowl. No need for a urinal, which also has splash back.

I have been to places with this layout.
Private stalls. Sinks and hand washing open and visible to the hallway. Nobody feels threatrned or uncomfortable.
Nobody feels threatrned or uncomfortable
And that makes conservatives feel threatened and uncomfortable.
Airports are infrastructure buildings. This is like seeing a billboard telling you not to hatecrime gay people and boycotting the highway.
Wait, gay people are allowed to use highways? Next you'll be saying gay trash is mixed with my trash in the truck. My pearls have been clutched so hard they're powder.
Family bathrooms are also great. Once flew with my intellectually disabled sister who fucking fingerpainted a rest stop stall on a previous trip when my mother broke her arm chasing her to the bathroom and she was left to her own devices. This time I brought gloves and wet wipes and there was a little suite kinda thing. I didn't need the child size toilet or the breastfeeding couch but the nice big accessible area around the adult toilet was good to have. She wasn't constipated that time so I didn't have to stop her from digging it out manually again but man; if I'd had to I totally could've! 10/10 would use a family bathroom again.
Disabled bathrooms are also spacious, to allow wheelchair users easy access.
I love the unisex bathrooms at the Kansas City airport!
Floor to ceiling stalls that I don't have to dance around in to open and close the doors. Large open spaces to move between stalls and the sinks.
Sure, the open stall count and lights aren't reliable and the workmanship on the sinks and soap dispensers is pretty crummy, but the layout and convenience are fantastic!
And it’s not like there are only unisex bathrooms there. It’s easy to choose another one if you prefer.
But why bother. They’re more private than most other public bathrooms in the US. 🤷🏻♀️
I fly through KC often and the gender neutral bathrooms are right past security, so I go in there nearly every time to at least wash my hands. There used to be a tiny jolt of surprise when I saw a man in there just because I’ve been so conditioned against seeing that for over 30 years, but that’s gone away because why tf do I care who sees me wash my hands?!
