I guess I would try to talk to him about how you were more comfortable with the woman before than with him. The two of you might learn something new that will help or he might figure something out and be able to help get you transferred to someone you can work better with (instead of leaving you stuck). Or, you might try working for a bit over your discomfort, "talking" to him seriously and see if his responses help in any way. Maybe just mention to him that you were disappointed that he didn't read your file and see what he responds. I imagine he didn't read it because he wanted to make up his own mind about you and not be swayed by what someone said before. But somehow mention some of your troubles with him and see what happens? If you would do better with a woman, you all might figure that out and he can help you get transferred. I'd just assume he wants to help you, whatever it takes and lay it out there that you're having problems relating to him. Therapists understand about that and that not all clients are going to fit with all therapists.
