Bathroom Signage

How should toilets be signed in an ideal world?

I decided to try a third party poll site, though I'm not sure I like this one:

(If you have gendered toilets at all, rather than unisex-only.)

I don't like the skirt/no-skirt symbols, but all the others seem more open to misinterpretation.

The ideal world solution is unisex everywhere; I may well be offending some people by suggesting that their particular practises have no place in an ideal world. Alas, it is not possible to please everyone.

The best real-world compromise I've heard is to split the toilets three ways; one M, one F, one open-to-everyone. Of course this means that some (additional) people don't get segregated toilets/extra choice - this seems to me to be a minor issue to me, far less pressing than making sure that some people can actually go to the loo (there may be a certain amount of personal bias on this point), and shortening queues while making efficient use of space. In fact a larger issue (that the some people don't get...) is that some people might feel/be pressured into using the neutral loo.

I don't remember what the recommended signage was. I think I prefer M/F over M/W; not all female people are women, for that matter not all male people are men. But this still leaves the question of the other sign.
