No. And for the exact same reasons. It's an inappropriate question (given the dame type of venue), it's asked baldly without context, etc. I'd expect a large number of them to not immediately know how to respond because it's weird.

Besides. The question was "do you like men?"

The comparable equivalent is, "do you like gay people?", "do you like mothers?", etc.

Asked in a professional workshop.

What does that mean? Is questioner asking if I'm gay? Does questioner mean do I like treating mothers as patients or dealing with mothers of patients? Is questioner suggesting that if I'm uncomfortable providing gender affirming care (because I'm not trained for it) that it's because I must be against it? "Irish" from Boston or "real" Irish? Are we going to argue about medical realities as a bias in regards to overweight people being a marker of whether or not I love my family remember who's overweight?

We're not getting around the fact that it's a dumb ass, meaningless question that was poorly put, poorly presented, and unprofessional to ask.

There are ways to communicate and ways to do things. There whare ways not to.

This falls into the latter.

But then to come write an article saying women therapists have a problem for not IMMEDIATELY responding to a stupid question that was put to them on such a confusing and poor manner really shows where the problem lies.
