Some of us are laughing at this. So feel free! But it's become a serious issue. Been seeing T for years. Very slow to trust enough to start working. Our abusers were male. Slowly younger ones & abused ones came to trust & talk to T. Considered him a person we could tell anything & everything to & do something he asked even if we weren't 100% comfortable. Often when one would generalize that all men are *bad*, he'd say there are good men. His words were dismissed. Recently he followed that with I'm a man. Like a bolt of lightning hit the system. Some became fearful enough that protectors came. Totally rattled. Ask what they thought he was: T, friend, helper on & on but male or man didn't make the list. Others opposite reaction, if you know what I mean. Never thought this needed to be mentioned or discussed. Actually thought it was obvious!!!!! Has gender of your T ever been an issue? Any wise words?
