yes a person can be sexually attracted to both male and female genders. maybe your psychologist didnt take the psych courses that dealt with having clients that were interested in both genders. sex preferences isnt usually taught in psych classes. its usually something you know is a possibility in your clients because you have been exposed to it. it wasnt too long ago that being gay or lesbian wasnt accepted, but with education and more people "coming out" its now accepted by alot of people psychologists included. they dont think anymore those of us that are gay or lesbian have a mental disorder that needs to be cured anymore. maybe you can collect information from physicians, rape crisis centers, and planned parenthood and give the info to your psychologist so he can be educated and not make the same mistakes with other clients.
