Another day, another Twitter controversy. This time, it’s a photo of two toddlers, that has infuriated the internet. More specifically, their outfits. The girl can be seen walking in pink scrubs, saying “Nurse in Training” on its back while the boy’s rocking a similar green outfit that reads “Doctor in Training.”

Recently, this tweet sparked a huge online debate about sexism

Medical Shots, a twitter account with 216k followers that posts health-related content, shared it on the 10th of March and as of this article it has already accumulated over 2.6k comments, 4.5k retweets, and 18k likes. Judging from the responses, however, it hit a nerve, instead of a funny bone.

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. Scroll down to go through the reactions to this internet debate and tell us what you think in the comment section.

Most people were criticizing it for enforcing stereotypical gender roles
