How will the Army transition with transgender in open showers?

If they identify as a bottle nose porpoise they should teach swimming.

If the person is anatomically on gender and wanting to pass as the other than I have a problem. There is still a problem with military sexual assault happening and now you want anatomical females to have to worry about protecting themselves in the head or berthing....no the services first have to be able to end one problem before they start a practice that could increase MST.

I would recommend that the army bring back a special hygene product that the Navy used in the sixties, that is soap on a rope!

This is a completely Fubar situation. So called "Trans people" not only dont belong in the showers. They are mentally ill and don't belong in the Military. Inclusion, Trans people, and women's weakens our readiness.

Retired Navy 2000, no way should they be showering together, disgusting!

Male is male, female is female. Joining just to get transgender surgery reminds me of a lot prior to Desert Storm, “I joined for the college education benefit. “ The military has one job, protect and defend the United States. Read your oath that you swore to uphold. Sounds like we have a lot of snowflakes and “Maxwell Klingers” in todays military. Any soldier whom is undeployable for 2 years needs to be a civilian.

In my opinion, transgender ideology has set back women's rights decades. "Identifying" is a very misused word to indicate they are unhappy with what and who they are.

As far as I'm concerned this bullshit has to stop.

Maybe I'm just too old fashioned, but I have a feeling most men would not be at all upset at "trans men" showering with them, meaning biological women who have the delusion that since they "feel" like a man that magically makes them into a man. In fact many might find that a very entertaining and stimulating experience. On the other hand, I doubt that too many women soldiers would be happy to openly shower with biological men who claim to be women. I will add that I think discussions like this would be improved if we stopped using the terms "trans" and "transitioned" and the like. Without totally re-defining what the words "man" and "women" mean, it is literally impossible to change one's gender, i.e., "transgender" so no transition can actually ever occur.

Males I feel will more accept females in the shower, however, I don't feel the women will be so respective.
