"I think that not wanting to be in intimate contact with someone who might be sexually aroused is enough, insofar as one does not want to party to the arousal."

I agree. That is part of professionalism. However, I doubt that "being a woman" is sufficient or rational reason for suspecting any untoward arousal. Certainly, most people are CAPABLE of being aroused...so "might be sexually aroused" is a rather disturbing criterion for exclusion.

I repeat what I said earlier:

I understand that some people are more professional than others and that some are unsuited to their jobs. That is something we surely agree on.

As I said before, I believe that people incapable of giving equal care (in whatever field they are in) because of hang-ups, or for any reason whatsoever---definitely OUGHT to discriminate rather than risk exploiting a patient or client sexually.
