Curious, do you experience your t's as an authority figure?

If you do, does it ever feel odd to have another adult as an authority figure?

If you are older than your t, does that affect how you feel? Or does your age affect it somehow?

I also wonder if men experience this differently than women. I notice there seem to be a lot more women posting on here than men, but if there are any men who want to answer this and want to say what your gender is, I'd be interested.

I experience most of my t's as authority figures. There was one where I didn't feel that way and I didn't feel like he was as effective. It feels weird to feel like they're an authority figure though. I guess as an adult, I don't think you're usually supposed to let yourself be dependent on another adult like that. Since I've been reading PC I feel more comfortable about it since a lot of people say a t is like a parent figure. I still think it might not be healthy to let oneself feel that way too much though. It seems like an awkward balance.
