Hey. I did feel brave in talking to my t about this, yeah. A bit of a risk. I think he was okay about it. I guess I did feel some kind of sense of relief after the session. But I guess I still worry a little that it will change how he thinks of me (for the worse), yeah.

> Do you think we all have "parts" who are attracted to different sexes at different times--and "parts" who need to assume various gender roles in order to accomplish specific tasks?

I dunno. I wouldn't like to speak for others...

Psychologists think that gender identity and sexual preference are best thought of as dimensional rather than categorical. That means... If you list all the stereotypic masculine traits and all the stereotypic feminine traits the majority of people will exhibit traits from both and people will fall on a continuum with respect to the degree that they are masculine or feminine. Same goes for sexual preference. Most people are attracted to both - falling on either the exclusively heterosexual or exclusively homosexual end of the spectrum is relatively rare.
