The left one is easy, it's boobs. Which means you're allowed if you have man boobs.
The other one is for people with 3 nipples.
2 bowls per stall vs 3 bowls per stall. Depends on the size of your friend group.
If it's biology based, women have 3 and men 2, but straight line would make more sense. But that is only a guess and who knows what the symbols are actually based on.
