She said there have been no studies on this it was just her own theory.
Now I am more confused than ever, I feel like my identity has been taken away again. T said because I kept saying if I could be any other way I would that this is because I still doubt myself! She said that once a gay comes out they start accept themselves but I can't and I refuse to accept myself because she thinks I am lying to myself!

i am gay too, and get asked if i am a made (molested as a child by a man) lesbian, or a born lesbian. My abuse happened so young it is not a question I could ever answer and why torture myself with it anyway.
And what difference does it make
what road I took to arrive here? I'm here now and that is all that matters.
Tell your T to shove her observations in this area. It doesnt matter what caused you to wind up where you are. It only matters what you do with it now that you're here (love someone and be loved back.) That's all. The rest is just background noise.
