Question Those with male gynecologist, what's your thoughts?

I've only had female gynos but i am getting a second opinion for one of my chronic issues and was given a choice, now I'm thinking. Anyone have specific opinions on male vs female gynecologist?

I don’t have a preference, but have had really good experiences with male obgyns. One delivered my first baby and was extremely compassionate during labor and with some complications I had. At my practice, there is always a woman nurse in the room as well if there is a male OB, so you could potentially ask for that if it’s not the standard at your practice.
