In my case, I don't have mother issues (or daddy issues actually). I just wanted a T who would be straight with me and get to the the issues at hand without all the emotional baggage that female T's seemed to try to add to all the baggage I already had. I haven't found my male T's unable to do anything that I needed from them particularly or unable to work with the issues I did have at hand. I mean, it isn't like I spend much time talking about female biological issues, so I haven't really seen a problem. I'm sure the impact differs depending on a person's individual needs.
