The situation you describe is a locker room - a much different scenario. If you don't like being checked out, talk to your gym about having more private showers, or get un/dressed in private. I don't mean to make this your problem - their behavior is over the line, imho - but I don't like getting dressed or undressed in the women's locker room, not because of sexual issues (hell, I like to look!) but because I feel a bit self-conscious about my body - cellulite here, a little more fat there than I'd like, and I don't like the idea of being judged. So I go use the private dressing room.

I agree, but that wasn't my point. The double standard that exists when we discuss gender specific restrooms/locker rooms vs. sexual orientation specific rooms was the point I was trying to make. I have made my choice to not shower there, but when I have the conversations with different people on this topic, their opinions vary greatly on possible solutions.
