No, I've never sought a T out for their sexual orientation or specialism in sexuality, but I certainly would have considered it. This time around, I needed a very specific type of therapy which was only offered by two or three Ts. The deal was sealed when I realised that my T had chosen lesbian and gay parenting as her thesis topic- it felt like a very lucky coincidence. She herself is straight, which I knew before I met her as she states this in her thesis-related publication. She is very supportive and tries hard to understand what it's like to be gay, but at the same time she is the first to acknowledge that she can't *really* know or understand. I think she had some experiences of rejection as a straight researcher studying lesbian parenting, as some potential participants told her that it was like a white person trying to write black history.
