I noticed reading this and there is yet to be a study on if this affects patient outcomes, which is where the real meat is, IMO. One of the experiments is described as: "In their first experiment, the researchers created two fictitious profiles of dermatologists and randomly varied different attributes, such as race, gender, school attended, online ratings and political affiliation. Asked which dermatologist they were more likely to visit, both Republican and Democratic respondents preferred a doctor who shared their political beliefs." It makes sense to me that a conservative person who is anti-abortion, wary of early sexual education or birth control, concerned about their child being exposed to gender transition or whatever other politics would want to see a doctor who simply would never suggest those things. It also makes sense to me that a progressive trans/gay person or supportive parent of a transgender/gay child would seek out progressive doctors who wouldn't try to convince them to detransition/conversion therapy or something.
