I think I tried them out when GTW was newly launched, but using them means committing to at least two similar rooms in practice. If I can build just one instead, it is my default approach. I would need an extra special reason to do more.
That is to say I used to. I had no idea they were double-sided. I've only ever seen the single gender early on. Now, all I can find is the gender neutral, as it were, doors. I'll have to try to reverse them to see if it makes a difference!
Got my chance to test them out. They are NO markings on one side, the other side has both genders depicted. Face/palm.
No and I change them to neutral if I download a lot with them.
Although I may now use them on a certain room in one of my vampires houses, thank you whoever mentioned doing that!
I typically use unisex, but sometimes the context of the build makes sense.
I was trying to build a gay bar to recruit potential boyfriends for my sim, so I used the men's door as the front door. It didn't work. Only women showed up, and had a dance party outside. My gay sim is still single.
lol, I like this idea. I remember making a gay bar in TS2. I wish they would add some of sort of option on venues to let us do this.
I do, but for a specific reason. My vampires have specific feeding tastes. For example, I have a wealthy, well educated vampire who only finds it palatable to feed on wealthy female sims with college degrees. Having a door that he cannot follow his breakfast behind makes for a more interesting hunt as far as gameplay goes.
Yes, it really helps and it's good that they're base game. And male/female bathrooms are different in real life so it makes sense to keep them seperate.
No. I even edit them out of gallery builds. It's a practical gameplay thing for me, because I tend to play with cutaway walls and it gets frustrating to have to put them up just to make sure my sim is going in the proper door.

Yes, but it depends on the lot. If it's a small lot with single stall loos then I'll use a regular door. If it's a big lot, or anywhere with a changing room then I'll use the sex specific doors.
I use the neutral doors some times. Definitely use it with the club (where Marcus belong, forgot the name of the club) because the women's restroom is the only thing on the second floor and with the stair glitch-- the ladies had no access.
Sunnyside Up Diner (I think that's the name), I will change to neutral also.
I don't have any unisex bathrooms for my public building builds. I do also deck out each gendered public restroom so I can easily tell which is which so playing with the partial walls feature is or walls down is not an issue.

I chose no because as a norm I don't. I use either normal doors or the specific neutral ones. Of course never in residential housing or a dorm/student housings.
I don't build really but I have redone interiors of several buildings to suit my worlds, both existing and downloaded. For instance I have converted a few residential buildings to a café, restaurants and others. Two downloaded gyms got changed into a community building/art museum and a museum/municipal building, respectively.
If a downloaded building does come with a gender specific bathrooms I might keep them in as is or change them. Depends on if I need the space of either bathrooms. I did seperate bathrooms in one of my restaurants but not for any other reasons except it looked good.
Otherwise, I don't really think about gender specificness for my community bathrooms.

They should get a private room.

This tends to be what I do too.
