I think the common sense solution is to put members in flights/platoons based on their physical sex.

what happens if there is someone with primary sex characteristics of one sex, but secondary sex characteristics of another....IE breasts and penis or vagina and goatee?

and what if your proposed solution is accpeptable to cisgendered people, but not trans people.....I wouldn't want to have to shower with men just because I haven't had surgery....

The only solution I can think of on the fly is make the showers more private, you know showers with curtains type of deal. I'm trying to think of something more meaningful, but I just woke up and I'm trying to turn my brain on. I'm more interested in how to affect change. That's what I'm after in this thread, but this is good, I need a solid plan to hand someone if anybody actually listens to what I have to say.
How does a Caterpillar become a Butterfly? It has to want to fly so badly it's willing to give up being a Caterpillar.
