Answer 1

It’s easier to sexualize than other branches of medicine, there’s a long history of misogyny in the medical field (don’t have a decent explanation for that), and trans people get taken even less seriously, so along with making gross advances on patients and doing things that are uncomfortable because a gyno finds it attractive, and the male-doctor phenomenon of ‘it’s probably just cramps” or “we didn’t find anything wrong so you’re fine” are likely much much more common
