Hence I can understand a lady not wanting a strange man handling her and would expect establishments providing such services to be aware os, and cater to, such wishes.

And assuming the spa has both male and female operatives, I really do not see what legal issue arises
The OP has said they only employ men (which is odd in itself and makes one wonder about their hiring practices and who they think their customers are).

I accept that the spa is offering the service as described.
As I have 11 months on the voucher I'm choosing to wait and will see what their staffing situation is in a month or two. I may also drop by when I'm in the area to clarify exactly what the situation is which will be easier in person than leaving phone messages and email.
If towards the end of the 12 months we're still not comfortable then I don't see any reason that the hotel wouldn't allow us to exchange for something of equal (or greater) value.

I'm struggling to think why anybody could have a problem with a shared set of stalls and hand basins.
If you're in a cubical and someone in an adjacent one lets off a ripsnorter, it can quite put you off that person as a prospective partner, or if you do it give rise to great embarrassment when you find the the person you were trying to impress was an audible/olfactory witness.
Plus you can get grief from women for standing to pee.

I find the idea of mixed toilets horrifying. What happens when a woman walks in and sees the only other user is male, or vice versa. Actually, no point in me rambling on about 'why,' it's just a horrible idea.

Why do you think I have less leverage with the hotel say in the 10th month rather than the 1st? I don't see that. I'm entitled to the full service for the full 12 months (but would never leave it too late due to limits on my own availability).
I would really like to have the gift that my husband bought for me and negotiating something else is a last resort rather than losing it.
At this point I think I'd prefer to wait as it may well be just a temporary staffing issue. I will also see if I can have a chat with the manager when I'm passing and find out if they are recruiting or what the situation is.
