A High Court judge has dismissed a legal challenge to the equality watchdog's guidance on which public or workplace toilets and changing rooms transgender people should use.
Are you suggesting they are all disabled, or they should just break rules and use disabled toilets, which are not provided for them ? (the clue is in the name).
not surprised in the least about how much time and money is wasted by the courts trying to decide who can and can't use a damn toilet labeled as 'disabled'

I’m not sure (more than happy to be corrected), that there are any rules about their usage. I suspect that the term ‘Disabled Toilet’ refers to the fact that they have been set up specifically to cater for people with various disabilities, but that doesn’t preclude anyone else using them.
I’n fact I’ve seen quite a few which doubles as ‘Baby Changing’ as well.

You might as well argue there are no rules for any Toilets, have you ever seen any ?
It should be obvious to anyone that "Disabled" toilets are there for disabled people, that members here argue otherwise is of course no surprise.

I suspect Andrew meant toilets that are both unisex and accessible without being intended as specifically disabled-only toilets. It depends on the location. I know in London you often see unisex toilets that are also set up for disabled people. It's usually in smaller places where they only have a couple, so they just make them unisex.
The oddest one I have seen is the National Theatre, where it's a unisex set of cubicles in a shared area. Think of a normal bathroom, but the common area is shared, and all the cubicles are unisex. It's kind of annoying, as there are no urinals and people piss all over the seats.

It will never be a non-issue, because a vast number of places don’t have space for single lockable unisex toilets, and many others don’t have the budget to convert them.
We will always have single sex toilets and it is therefore (sadly) necessary to have a clear, unambiguous legal ruling that men aren’t allowed in the ladies at all. Even if they put on a dress. Especially if that’s their kink, I’d argue.
It is beyond absurd that it is even necessary to assert the above paragraph. Truly, we live in the stupidest timeline.

That's because they tend to be effectively closed single occupancy rooms. Completely private, so no issues of other people also being in there.
Not really practical for providing to many people at the same time.
Not just about toilets. There are other single-sex spaces such as changing rooms.
