Does anyone else have any...opinions about crossing traditional gender barriers in birthing situations?

I don't really see why any guy would be interested in that. It's a very maternal position, which goes beyond just a usual 'feminine' job. Not so much a 'gender' barrier.

Side note, I ended up helping with my wife's, Since the nurses/doc were coming and going as labor went on (induced a week early, several hour process). I even brought our rolling pin, but no one allowed me too use it...

I work in a hospital in NJ. I've worked in two others. Not a care giver, a maintenance guy. I have never heard of midwives being employed in L&D. (labor& delivery).

My wife worked in LnD (postpartum) at Parkland in Dallas for a couple years. They had some midwives as on-call providers for many of the more routine deliveries.
