This term came up in class, teacher was emphatic that it was general (not
specific for female).

I have been seeing signs with this exact term at service stations (gas
stations) pointing to both male and female toilets.

Editor: in fact, the one thing it is probably never is "specifically ladies' toilet";
although it can mean "powder room" or "ladies' room" in the non-euphemistic
sense.
Diff:
- 化妝室 化妆室 [hua4 zhuang1 shi4] /powder room/(euphemism for) ladies' toilet/dressing room/
+ 化妝室 化妆室 [hua4 zhuang1 shi4] /dressing room/powder room/(Taiwan) toilets/
