I agree the touch issue might get more complicated notes when it is a male T. I never had one (I'm curious though and if I ever needed another T I think I would try to see a male T). I have suffered many kinds of SA and often situations that were not supposed to be sexual turned that way. Even if I had the most ethical T these thoughts would probably cross my mind when touching and I don't know if I would ever feel completely safe. Also I think male T's with female clients do think this hard when making a decision that is in line with their way of working and client's feeling of safety. I believe there is possibility of safe touch but I also think in many cases it is much more simple if the T is female too.
