Talk:Key:unisex
Gender neutral, gender segregated and unisex=yes
Does unisex=yes mean (a) gender neutral (e.g. a unisex toilet, or (b) gender segregated, but there is male & female facilities? In English "unisex" means gender neutral, so some mappers enter unisex=yes for that[1][2][3]. This wiki page is ambiguous, and implies (a). How do you map a gender segregated, non-unisex, toilet which serves male & female? How do you map one a unisex, gender neutral toilet?
A unisex toilet
Not a unisex toilet

I would map non-unisex like this: female=yes + male=yes + gender_segregated=yes Something B (talk) 21:40, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

The OSM community has not settled on the meaning of unisex=*. The meaning of unisex=yes is unclear, with two incompatible tagging schemes in use:
- unisex=yes always means a gender-neutral facility. Gender segregated facilities (e.g. toilets) should be tagged female=yes + male=yes. Combination male=yes + female=yes cannot be replaced with unisex=yes.
- unisex=yes is a shorthand for male=yes + female=yes, and can be used for a unisex, gender neutral facilities, or one with separated female & male sections.
