What is your opinion of a male physician performing a gyn pelvic exam? Would that be any different than a male nurse inserting a urinary catheter? If so, then why? What about a male nurse midwife delivering a baby? Would that somehow be unacceptable? What about a female nurse inserting a catheter in a male patient? Or a male urologist inserting a catheter in a female patient? What about a male patient who thinks he's female? What then?
Not in reference to anyone who has posted in this thread, but it seems that some people would be happiest if all men in nursing were to become eunuchs.
