This is interesting - I'd like to know what the women on here think?
Personally I would not have a problem with a Medical Professional being of any (or indeed no) sexual identity when performing 'intimate' procedures on me - I'd just want them to be competent, confident and humane.

are there no male gynaecologists performin this sort of thing ?
BUT sunny dave there are gender ( ha!) differences how acceptable the patient feels about certain things
My dear old mother's view was 'I dont care how rude he is, can he do the procedure/operation?' which I acknowledge is a minority view. Common in the nineteenth century - s/o said to Sir James Paget - "oh I see Sir James you tell me the operation I need and then who is the best person to do it."

It might have been done at the hospital as a follow up after a colposcopy.
I don't mind having a male gynaecologist looking at my cervix, so wouldn't mind a male nurse doing the smear. I can understand why some women might be upset though.
The smear test is awkward and embarrassing, but you can get through it by thinking 'Well, she (the nurse) has to go through this too.'

Can I support Naomi on this, please. A male in such circumstances should be chaperoned. Also, smear tests are often quite uncomfortable and a female would probably be more sensitive to that. When in France it was often a male radiographer doing mammograms. The difference between a male and a female operating the equipment was startling. Males just didn't understand the pain they were inflicting - females were much more gentle. I was told (when I went for my 1st one here after my return) that only females were used for mammograms in the UK.
The s/he concerned should have been chaperoned until transgenderisation (is there such a word?) was complete and, frankly, having had both male and females involved in the process, I would prefer a full female.

I obviously don't know all the facts but what does puzzle me is why so many refuse to acknowledge there could have been a clerical error in this case.
The NHS is a huge organisation and something like this can easily happen.
No harm came to anyone and I'm sure the Lady got her test done by a female as she requested at some stage.

Mamyalynne, //what does puzzle me is why so many refuse to acknowledge there could have been a clerical error in this case.//
Unless the male nurse who self-identifies as female is accepted as such by his superiors, he would, for his own protection as well as that of the patient, have queried the fact that he was required to carry out that procedure without a female health professional present. I think the clerical error explanation is an excuse.
