I was actually thinking about this the other day and concluded that the best way to label bathrooms is just a complete facility inventory to tell people what’s in there. Just put stylised pictures of two toilets, a urinal, two sinks, and a changing table on the door or whatever.
As a parent, labeling where they’ve bothered to put changing tables would save so much trouble! I’ve had to barge into the women’s room to change a diaper way too many times because who could imagine a dad changing a diaper?
Saw one at the kid’s museum the other day where the changing table in the men’s room had a little plaque noting it was sponsored by a local vasectomy clinic. Well played.
The only de-gendered bathroom signs I think works are “Toilets” and “Toilets and Urinals”.
If we’re removing the aspect of gender then that’s the only real difference between bathrooms.

lo and behold, that’s basically how it works here.
