There are some reasons why some words are feminine, masculine
or neutral, but I never heard of that. (It is short form for
English "watercloset" - which I didn't know before I looked it
up now. :D)

> However it's more common to say "Wo ist die nächste Toilette?"

Note how it is "die Toilette" because it is used by women.
But I didn't study German, so take it with a grain of salt. :p
