'the truth is, using an accessible bathroom when you don’t need to can be very damaging to those within the disabled community. The first faux pas people often make is assuming that only wheelchair users use accessible bathrooms'. https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/30/by-using-the-disabled-toilet-youre-putting-me-at-risk-9327740/?ito=cbshare

'More than 7 in 10 of the respondents, 73%, said that they had arrived at a tourist attraction in the UK to find a complete lack of toilets that they could use. Of these, almost the same proportion again (71%) said they had been promised an accessible toilet before visiting'.
