I don’t think we should load more meaning into a tag after it is out in the 
wild. Unisex=yes is defined as a shortcut for male=yes + female=yes, and while 
I would have no problem extending this to people which feel both, or the 
opposite than what their body biologically seems to say, I think it would not 
be logical to include people which are neither, nor would it be OK to add 
implicated meaning about segregation to the definition. For me it would be ok 
to extend the unisex definition to include also people which aren’t male or 
female, but it doesn’t work to make it imply segregated_genders=yes.
A hair stylist can have 2 rooms, one for women and one for men, and it would be 
ok to tag it as unisex=yes. Segregation is a different property and should be 
mapped separately.


Cheers,
Martin
