The Omnidemocracy does not discriminate based on sex when it pertains to species with a sexual morphism rating 59 or lower. In species of a sexual morphism rate of 60 or above, each individual sex will be treated as a separate species for the purposes of measuring capability and competence. For example, in a species like humanity with low levels of sexual dimorphism no distinction is made between the sexes for the purpose of training or role determination. In a hypothetical species where the female was twice the size and bulk of the male, different training and different suggested roles would apply to each sex.

For reference, baseline humanity has a sexual dimorphism rating of 30, 35 at highest. Baseline humanity is rated such largely due to significant hormone differences, bodily differences, and the largeness of the female human's breasts. Most transhuman strains have a sexual morphism rating around 20 to 25 instead, due to a weakening of the aforementioned contrast between the sexes. As the rating is a general species-wide sociobiological guide rather than a census of individuals, intersexual individuals are not accounted for when pertaining to sexes with a rating below 50 (as the sexes are similar enough to perform roughly the same roles). In species with a rating above 50, intersex individuals will be considered to either belong to the sex their appearance and mentality best suits or considered an "indie". Third (chromosomal) sexes are counted as separate data points (for example, there may be XX, XY, and YY in a three-sexed species).

0: Monosexed and hermaphroditic species. Applies regardless of whether the monosexed species was made such a way naturally or by the elimination of one of the sexes.
Examples: Snails, plantlife.

1 - 9: Species with none to little difference between sexes aside from genitalia. Misidentification of sex would be omnipresent in other species, possibly within the species itself if pheromonal or other indicators are not present. High likelihood of causing near-universal bisexuality, especially in sapient species.
Examples: Pemberton's deer mouse

10 - 19: Species that have traits found more commonly in one sex, but not to the extent that such traits could be used for sex identification. Misidentification of sex would be frequent.
Examples: Most non-hominid mammals

20 - 29: Species that could be sex-identified in close to medium range, but not at long ranges. Misidentification of sex would be common, but not overwhelming.
Examples: Most transhumanity strains

30 - 39: Species that could be sex-identified at medium to long ranges, but could easily prevent this with concealment or purposeful imitation or adoption of traits of the other sex. Misidentification of sex would be possible, but uncommon.
Examples: Baseline humanity

40 - 49: Species with clear and obvious traits exclusively associated with one species, often coloration. Misidentification of sex would be almost impossible, but the different sexes are clearly of the same species.
Examples: Peacocks, other birds, lions, non-human primates

50 - 59: Species with many traits associated with a specific sex. Misidentification of sex would be ridiculous, and it is possible to mistake the different sexes for closely related species.
Examples: Bovines

60 - 69: Species with drastic differences between the sexes, often to the point of one sex being clearly disadvantaged and less intelligent. Misidentification of sex would not happen, and it is likely that the different sexes would not immediately be identifiable as a single species.
Examples: Spiders, other non-colonial insects

70 - 79: Species with massive and extreme differences between the sexes, often with one sex being far smaller or immobile. No misidentification of sex, and it is highly likely that the the different sexes will be considered something other than just sexes. High likelihood to possess a "Queen" organism that produces most young.
Examples: Ants, other colonial insects

80 - 89: Species with drastic differences between the sexes, with one often being reliant on the other for survival. No misidentification of sex, but likelihood for initial discovery considering sexes to be separate species is almost certain.
Examples: Deep sea anglerfish

90 - 99: Species with little to no similarities beyond the simple and obvious between the sexes. Almost certain to be mistaken for separate species.
Examples: Bignose/Whalefish/Tapetail

100: 'Indies', persons who cannot be readily classified into any specific species or strain.

Actually, I hear that unisex platoons are better than all male or female platoons because the combination of typical male and female mindsets makes for better strategizing, tactics, etc.

That being said, Xinjie allows females in the military.

Its not a matter of "letting" them, any objection is usually stifled by said women crushing said chauvinist's balls!
Legally speaking ANYONE able and willing to fight are given the chance to prove themselves. Those who are willing yet not able (male or female) can usually attain a supportive position in the military.

Our military, which counting both reserves and active forces has just over 1.1 Million members, does allow women the same regulations and tasks as men.

However only about 14% of them are female.

Yes and no.
On the one hand, like many other countries, women as well as men are required to complete three years of compulsory service, whether in the military, civil defense, police, medical corps, or simply working as an administrator or factory worker for the government.
However, women are only required to serve for three years as opposed to four for men. And although there is nothing legally preventing women from joining the armed services, most women opt to follow a different path. This is largely due to lingering cultural influences from the old fascist government, which did legally restrict women to certain occupations. In addition, the military is particularly tough on female recruits, compared to most civil service or industrial jobs which are required to be equal opportunity.

Yes, but not because of equality or feminism or anything like that. We mainly let females into our military since we have had female pirates in our nation, but the decision whether or not to include females is up to each cove.

oh...

You think shield maidens were a real thing? Ahahahahaha. Oh that is rich. Yes, women have served in combat, even as infantry in modern warfare, the USSR had a lot of female snipers in WW2. The thing is that women are poorly built to be soldiers, especially modern soldiers. Even assuming that women could be as strong as men, women have to lift the same loads as men and tend to be smaller, putting more stress on their skeletal system. The primary reason for barring women is that so few could pass that it would be inefficient to bother letting them try.

Females run the military. Males are barred by law from holding anything above enlisted ranks in the Army, and are completely unable to join the Navy. (Of course, a female in Cavallagna is built more like a male, and vice versa.) This is a deeply rooted tradition in Cavallagnese culture that is very unlikely to change anytime soon. Males have, however, relatively recently gained the ability to enlist as pilots in the Army Air Force, which they were unable to do up until 1991, revealing some slight liberalization in the nations politics.
