Do you have a preference on the gender of your gynecologist? Why or why not?

I'm not aware of any laws. We were told in med school that for our own protections, guys must bring a chaperone in / women should consider it... but it's less likely and we didn't always.

Based on this research paper, studies are limited.

Legally, looks like it's not mandated in most states:

The AMA, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists all state that a patient’s request for a chaperone should be honored, none of them require the use of chaperones, and only seven states require chaperones under some conditions
