The current usage of unisex=* doesn't seem to be good tag design but
changing its definition isn't a good idea either. Your proposed
redefinition of unisex=yes would change the meaning of an established
and highly used tag. Please invent new tags.

Sorry for the stupid question but are there more types of toilets than
the following three?
- male only
- female only
- not assigned to a specific gender

If the world were that simple, the following scheme might be sufficient:

amenity=toilet + unisex=yes + toilet:male_only=no +
toilet:female_only=no: one room for all

amenity=toilet + unisex=yes + toilet:male_only=yes +
toilet:female_only=yes: the "standard" toilet with separated rooms for
women and men

amenity=toilet + unisex=yes + toilet:male_only=yes +
toilet:female_only=yes + toilet:all=yes: toilet with three rooms (men +
women + all)

Best regards

Michael
