When I first started seeing a T, about a year and a half ago, I wanted a woman, because I was experiencing bad stuff with a male in my life and I felt a male T might somehow take "his side." I saw her about 9 months, stopped for 6 months, and now have a new T, who is male. I never would have thought I would want to see a male therapist for my original reason. But this guy has been just great and I have totally bonded with him. I think I've always bonded better with males than females, so this now makes sense to me. I really don't ever want to see another T, because my current guy is just right for me, but if someday I have to, I would pick another male.
