Gender again. Sorry!

Was this an open toilet area with cubicles? Or a enclosed single use unisex one, like a disabled toilet? Very different from a unisex general toilet.

Either way these are mixed sex toilets in addition to single sex ones aren't they? But in effect just women using it? Sounds fine. Plenty of choice. Would you have been happy with her using a traditional open toilet area with cubicles but you'd seen only men going in there and no women?

What a weird question. I don't know. I didn't use it. My daughter is 17. She can go to the loo where she chooses.

When they refurbed the Men's changing room for swimming at my local leisure centre a few years ago. They made the Women's into a unisex changing room for a fortnight. Guess what? The women who had to change their little girls for swimming lessons weren't happy about it. There were half a dozen cubicles and the rest was benches and hooks.

So, not recently then.

Guess what? My daughter is nails and afraid of nobody.

You seemed to be suggesting that mixed sex toilets aren't a problem. They are for a lot of women and girls, and single user mixed sex is very different from open spaces that are mixed sex. As far as I know the 02 has both single sex and mixed sex toilets on each level so, as you say, she can choose the mixed sex one if she wishes and leave the single sex spaces to those who want those.

I'm not sure women's attitudes to getting undressed in the same room as men will have changed much in recent years. It's still unpopular.

Your daughter is rock hard is she? Good for her. Not all girls are and it shouldn't require 'being hard as nails and afraid of nobody' to feel comfortable getting undressed for swimming. Her toughness wouldn't prevent her being filmed by hidden cameras either, which are much more prevalent in mixed sex spaces than single sex ones.

And the obvious point still stands - neither she nor you can consent for other women who don't share your enthusiasm for undressing around the opposite sex.
