i have a male t and i couldn't disagree MORE with female being more responsive, etc.

he is the best t ever. i had two female t's for a very short time and they seemed to over react to everything that i told them...that or dimiss it. i don't think that gender applies. i'm sure lots here would have a totally different experiece from mine...which brings about my point. i think it's more personal preference and the t personality, skill, expertise and experience that makes it work...not gender.

of course, there are some survivors who could never see a t with a different gender...that wouldn't apply to what i was talking about.
