I could only hazard a guess that the reason that it might be a problem at women's shelters is due to those women experiencing PTSD due to their past traumas with men. When I was 23 or so, one of my IT customers was a women's shelter in the SW. As the new guy on the team, it was a huge deal that I was allowed in
at all. We didn't have any female consultants on staff, but someone had to do the work. To say access was restrictive is to not to do it justice, it was like Fort Knox in that place.

Non-gendered bathrooms seem to work pretty well at the bars and restaurants I've noticed them at.
