A lot of male nurses and female doctors, as well as other health professionals, are pointing out that these professions don’t have a gender requirement. And one person has uploaded an edited version of the image that suggests we call them what they both really are, health professionals.
But others are opposing this backlash, saying that it’s making a mountain out of a molehill. “Just because men can be nurses and women can be doctors doesn’t mean that every single picture needs to depict that,” one commenter said. “Maybe her dream is being a nurse and his is being a doctor?” another asked.

it's more sexist to call this picture sexist than the picture is sexist.. "future grave occupant" is all any shirt really needs to say.

The photo makes no reference as to what gender each of the subjects identify as. The future "doctor" very likely is identifying as a female. Are all of those who commented "assuming" each person's gender by some preconceived notion of how she wears her hair?
Exactly this.
