I have a female t, a female pdoc, a female gyno., a female family doc, and a female dentist. I have had male docs; however, my experience has been that the female caregivers have been more empathetic.
The only female I actually searched for because of gender in my t because I felt that I would be better able to open up about csa to a female. Also, I didn't want to have a t who was a lot younger, so the one I see is in my age range-maybe a few years younger.
By the way, even my minister is a female, and I promise I didn't plan that one-she followed a male who had the position before her.
