I'm female. Current T is female and it's working well for me, I think.
Most T's in my past were male and two exploited me.

I loved my parents but they always gave me signals that females were inferior. My mother accepted her '50's role. They were fairly successful at passing this role onto me.
The result was I only expected male T's and doctors to be worthwhile and helpful.

In my later years I have had the honor and privilege of knowing a few women T's who seemed to have a good sense of themselves....who have helped me understand women CAN be powerful.

I'm still learning, tho.
