Ministers say move will combat growing concerns about ‘privacy and dignity’ in gender-neutral facilities

I'm confused. In what way to universal toilets (toilet and sink in one self-contained room) not allow for the biological needs of women? Why are girls in schools getting UTIs because they're so scared of peeing in universal toilets? Why don't these work for trans people and NBs?

Is this anything other than just conservatives being transphobic and wanting to keep traditional toilets alive? I feel like I must be missing something here

As an aside...
My dad's church has just been refurbished with this style of toilet and he is very against them, but he's also against trans people so..
