Yeah, I get this. I felt judged by my previous (female) T because of my reluctance to be emotional. She put me under a lot of pressure to open up with my emotions but it had the effect of shutting me down even more. It is harder to discuss some things with a male T, but I find him to be more accepting of who I am. I know it's just my issues speaking, but I usually feel like other women expect me to be like them and they don't get why I'm not.
Your T is not going to be disrespectful of your emotions, but he may well be more patient with you than a female T would.
