The etymology of the word 'gender' is derived from the French word 'genre' i,e not a thing
but a type.
So when I enter a 'gender neutral' bathroom I am entering not a bathroom free of a thing
male/female but of a type 'human'. a human neutral bathroom.
There are 2 genders in the Romance languages French/Italian and 3 in German, Problem
it follows that there is then a continuing ambiguity about the word 'gender'
but a type.
