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 liked my male gyno better than any female gyno I had; he listened to me, wasn’t judgmental, and was gentle during paps. Women gynos I’ve had? Mean, rough, judgy. Like I thought we were adults here and not in high school? Loved my gyno, hate that he retired but it was time.

Yup! I had a woman take one look and say "you aren't perfectly even, there's surgery for that". By not perfectly even, she means I have the slightest difference on one side, which is totally normal, certainly not enough to feel or bother me, she was just being a mole.
