Well, I wasn't around then, so I can only get told a hindsight view of over-2 decades later. And it was simply a matter of practicality. She hates feeling sticky or grimy and that outweighed her self-consciousness. She is still very self-conscious in weird ways. But her reasoning about same-sex showers comes from, basically, she's never been hit on by a lesbian or bi-girl, so she doesn't think any women see her as sexually attractive, so no-one is going to be eyeing her up in the locker room.
The curtainless shower stall is also a matter of practicality. The vast majority of the women in the locker room won't use it, so if she wants to get out quickly, that one is pretty much guaranteed to be open.
