Yes. I can attest to that. My transference issues are always with same sex T's. Not in a romantic way, but in a dependent, desperate way.. like wanting a really close big sister or a mother, but much more than that. Don't know how to explain it, but it is extremely painful.

I agree that it might be helpful if transference was explained in the consent process. I am not one to sue for things like this though.
