Traditions are almost always solutions to a problem. To change tradition we have to analyse the problem the traditional rule solved.
The reason why we have we separate bathrooms and locker-rooms is because there are two groups in society: one with dicks and one without dicks. The problem is that people with dicks can penetrate people without dicks. Obviously, not all people with a dick will do that. Even if the probability is small, the utility cost of unwanted penetration is so catastrophic that dickless people don’t want to be exposed in spaces where there are people with dicks.
A solution is to have two separate spaces. One exclusive for people without dicks and one where you can have either.
