I was doing field rotation that had open showers and had a thought about Transgender personell and how the be treated by other personell. I talked to a female an she said she upset if transwomen in her shower if they still had there male genitals. I asked a male the same thing and he said he wouldn't care. He said "If they identify as a man I will treat them like a man". How would you personally feel about this.

Based on my most recent experience in Army BCT 2020, showers are private stalls now at Fort Jackson with pull curtains. The toilet stalls are now closed with doors on them as well. Trainees are not allowed in underwear inside sleeping areas and must be clothed. You not allowed to have your shirt off at all, nor underwear only. After 2000hrs no Non-trainees are allowed in the bed areas or in the barracks with trainees. There must be a minimum of two NCOs to enter these areas after certain times to include Drill Sergeants. The exit areas are alarmed for exit doors and some video in non-private areas are present. This is because drill sergeants and leaders were having affairs and sex with trainees. Now the trainees have little sexcapades, affairs and also staying up most of the night causing noise and taking sleep from others. This is particularly a problem in the female barracks area, there was several aggressive predatory lesbians' in the female area. After the barracks area was secured for the night and NCOs / DS would leave one female routinely walked around nude, several of the other females complained and basically nothing was done. Two females were constantly pressuring other females for sex and relations. It's a zoo! I was assigned my own apartment above Battalion HQ away from the children and not a participant in this stupidity, because of my rank. Much more...not the Army of even 10 years ago. Bizarro land and no one says anything because if they do your labeled adverse to the modern changes of the Army. You will be disciplined if you openly criticize or protest the insanity. Go along to get along, or commit career suicide. Welcome to the woke Army...

This is sooooo sick. What happened to PLT Guides & Squad Leaders for these trainees? Seems to me a squad leader and a Plt guide would solve that problem by reporting first and if no swift resolution/removal of the problem a blanket party (if they still have those). Then adapt and survive have a useful meaning.

Question is still relevant, even almost a year after posting. The answer is "No." No "transgender" in the military or in the showers. The proper name is gender dysphoric. It is a mental condition by which the ill person believes something that is not true. They need professional help, not a co-dependent DoD.

We need to outgrow superstitions against being seen nude. Segregated nudity such as in showers and lavatories contributes nothing to respect for sexual boundaries. This is observed in clothes-optional communities by people who have studied the problem of sexual harassment and sexual assault. This will simplify the problem by eliminating it.

It depends if the transwoman gets hard when they see nude women in the shower.
If they do, i'd doubt the transwoman's claim.

For me asked and answered. There was never a taste for mixing genders, how do we leap to whatever is a gender. I read people's opinions frequently, and most are different in person. Bottom line is that people in transition are in limbo, accommodations must be made as the policy has changed.
Therefore it is asked and answered. The real question is which shower do each one use? That needs to be determined at the top, and respected. As always in the military we have only to follow there orders, and regulations that guide us. Soldier up!

I don't see many trans, or anyone today banging the doors down to serve in the military today. We have the smallest military since the beginning of World War II.
