There's a difference between using it as an adjective and a noun.

Requesting "a female doctor" is not as bad as requesting "a female."

I also couldn't think of a more clinical setting than a doctor's clinic

Silly comment. I prefer female doctors because I like their personalies better, and I believe that their medical knowledge is equal to a male doctor's knowledge. It's also less weird to me to be touched by a member my preferred gender. My reasons are absolutely not related to any clinical reasoning.

You literally used the example of a doctor to disagree with someone saying it's clinical, I just thought it was funny so made a joke.

And why so serious? Reply to the other person who was actually making a serious point if you want that
