I am a female, and i prefer a female T. I just find it easier to talk to a women, rather then a male. For any issues. I have a super hard time getting things out and she is really patient with me. I needed someone with a more "maternal" instinct because i am a very emotional person. I am straight if that matters. I just needed someone i am comfortable with, and for some reason i have never been comfortable talking to guys about my feelings.
