It seems to me that this is an enculturated feeling since it isn't found in many other cultures. Like the stigma attached to being hit on by a gay man, I think this whole issue can be dealt with best by ending the stigmatization of gay/bi/trans people. You may never be able to get past it yourself, I know a woman who hated Japanese people till the day she died because of losses in the 2nd World War, but your personal feelings should not be a bar to equality for others. I hated showering with the guys in school, but I put my head down and did it.Assuming that you are white, why is your situation any different than that of a white person who was raised believing in segregation and who is confronted with LIVING shoulder to shoulder with black people in the Army? Those people had a difficult time too, but should blacks have been kept out of the Army because of it? Should they have been forced to use other facilities? What about in war time?
