Historically, public toilets have been divided by sex since the Victorian era. Male cubicles and facilities were typically greater in number until the late 1980s and early 2010s, depending on the country and building. Current ratios range from 1:1 to 4:1 female–to–male. Portable, accessible, and vehicle toilets are commonly gender-neutral.
