How will the Army transition with transgender in open showers?

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.

......better ton focus on hand to hand and open field combat......all that shower stuff comes later....

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.

I think that we're looking at a Supreme Court case in the not too distant future.

Back in the day (1980s) my wife was stationed with an MI unit in Germany. Her battalion had male and female soldiers which required some creative arrangements when it came to the "facilities". The latrines became unisex with the urinals covered and everyone using the toilet stalls. The barracks had one shower room per floor so one floor was designated as female and the others as male.
I imagine units will do something similar or designate separate shower times for each group.
