I think you're right in a sense, but the great thing about the military is that if people aren't ready, then you can force them to be ready.
I'd rather just wait til there is a good chance that it will be able to be implemented without a lot of problems. The time most likely will come eventually. But, right now, segregation by gender works fine and doesn't have noticable impacts on most personnel (there are some exceptions, and I would be completely open to the consideration of changing policies for those particular instances to make facilities coed). The policies aren't forcing people out based on the gender and don't separate people who aren't normally separated. The policy should be flexible for certain instances and situations. And it might be a good idea to start using a more flexible policy on this issue in certain cases, such as small units with limited spacing.
