Hi Amanda,
No.
What puzzles non-native speakers (including myself) is that English has
a clear distinction between sex and gender (other than, for example,
German). Yet, the term "unisex" (contains the word "sex") is used to
designate a situation in the "gender" category, not sex.
Can you help?

The proposal currently states:
Meaning of the unisex <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:unisex>=yes is

* gender neutral facility (as the "unisex" term in English); or
* facility that accessible for men and women, either segregated or not.
I do not understand what is unclear. The term unisex is well
understood among English speakers to mean "gender neutral".
I'm a native English speaker, and I agree! I also wrote that part of the wiki
(years ago). I think some non-native speakers treated `unisex=yes` as meaning
“gender segregated but male & female are available”, i.e. read that paragraph
as “some OSMers might have been wrong, and we don't know how many unisex=yes/no
tags in OSM were affected by the misunderstanding”
