What is needed is a singular gender neutral pronoun.

Complaining some more about German they use gender specific nouns for most things. So even Angela Merkel is Bundeskänzlerin. I've seen job ads where they write Softwareentwickler / Softwareentwicklerin, because to just ask for a software developer might be taken to mean that women can't apply, though mostly now they seem to write (m/w).Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

Though I know from being in clubs in my younger years it was men specifically the bouncers who would get upset about women sneaking into the gents. It was never tried the other way round in clubs as the ladies were too packed."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

I found that the Disabled toilets fitted the bill admirably. Although I did tend to get a little vexed with the incessant trying of the door handle by the hordes of incontinent coffin-dodgers that seem to haunt Torbay hospital like vanquished dementors!!
However, I quickly learned that a conciliatory call of "Hoi Grandad? Bugger off, I am trying to have a wafty crank in here!!" generally did the trick.
Besides, I was very much of the opinion that I had been rendered at that stage, in the truest sense, disabled.
