Thanks. Yes, my point in this post is that what you think about people, in this case, therapists, is sometimes far from reality. I think itīs both interesting and also comforting to know they havenīt lived a perfect life either.


I understand all those things like marriage doesnīt prevent a person from being lonely and so on, my point is that knowing something about a T both makes them more human and it also decreases feelings of otherness. Itīs not that I think all T:s actually have perfect lives or that one specific kind of life will lead to happiness.

As for partners hugging and comforting each other, well, I think you're idealizing marriage a bit.
