My current T is a bit of a...moron, you could say. I seriously don't think she knows what she's doing. She likes to make decisions for me without asking me, and that constantly causes fights between us. (Side note: Why the hell is this T fighting with me??? Don't I get that enough at home?! Very unprofessional, IMO.) On the one hand, I think she assumes that because my problems right now were caused by SA (perpetrated by males), I should see females; however, I definitely agree with you guys that an example of a positive relationship with a male would be FAR more beneficial than avoiding them.

I will definitely talk to my T though about expanding her search. And I probably will confront her one it, even if just to say, "WTF were you thinking??"
