I would have hated to have to shower after gymclass, I know that all of us were very insecure about our bodies at the time (one girl was physically abused at home, so she was covered in blue marks) and luckily our showers had legionella and were therefore, permanently out of order.
If someone wánts to shower and covers up a bit, I don't see the problem. It's about the setting, about giving a little warning..youknow. If a girl blatantly would have walked in naked without announcing she was naked, I would have maybe felt uncomfortable. But if she just had a towel on and said; 'I'm going to dress myself now!' then we could have politely looked away for a bit.
I know my perception on things is different, because I've been through some nasty times and situations, so to me, nudity isn't always a safe subject and especially not if it's "sprung on me" out of the blue. I remember even feeling physically ill when a vague acquintance immediately took her bra off (without saying she would) to put her bathingsuit on before we went to the beach. Had she simply mentioned she was going to, I would have looked away a bit.
So, I don't know, I feel uncomfortable with those things, but that's because of trauma and if the people aren't standing closeby and aren't asking anything off me or making direct eyecontact, I guess I'm alright with most.
Or if I'm warned beforehand xD Like going to the red-light-district (I live near Amsterdam) you know what to expect. So then there are no strange surprises, most of the time.
