Beyond the founders reasoning's for no co-mingling, I fear it would become a point of dissension in a co-ed lodge. Think of the way you are presented during the 3 degrees :)

Just becuse your rituals are done in a certain way theres no guarantee that others do it that way to. There could just as easly be things that are diffrent.

Usually,
Mixed or Female Obediences work the AASR, in a continuum ranging from the First to the 33rd Degree. In other words, there is no Craft separate from the high Degrees.

Sounds like someone needs the lessons of the compasses again.
Modifications can be made to any presentation and still be metaphorically present.

Nah, that's just Le Droit Humain. Globally they may be the biggest mixed gender organisation, but this is not the case in every country and there are quite a few other organisations that I know. As far as I know, LDH is the only with a 'continuous system'. Actually this isn't entirely true either, since members actually have to be asked for the 4th degree and up (over and over again). Wat IS continuous at LDH is that AASR degree regalia is worn also in blue degree lodges. I believe the same does not go for the other systems that they have, but I'm not sure.
Most other organisations have 'blue degrees' organisations and separate organisations for 'higher degrees'.

Probably the system well explained by the Brother Roy_ is the same practiced in other more well-known Mixed Obediences, such as the GLDI and the GOF
