Whoa,seriously?
My therapist would never tell me that. She knows the difference between sexuality and gender identity.

I imagine the therapist knew the difference, however also knew that many people in their younger years don't know the difference and don't know what they want or who they are. Not in all cases, but I would imagine many therapists wouldn't turn their back on that statistical possibility. Or maybe the therapist is an idiot... I don't really know for sure  :-)

Well, he was pretty unhelpful as a therapist and insulting, but I saw no issue with what he was suggesting for that reason. He was fair on that point.

He had no way of knowing what was going on with me at that point, so I can't really expect him to just take me at face value. Since orientation can be tied to certain roles, it's not so out of the norm even if there is variety. It's not about what he thinks as much as he's trying to understand how I think and feel.

That's just how I feel about it.
Don't be scared to fly alone, find a path that is your own
Love will open every door it's in your hands, the world is yours
Don't hold back and always know, all the answers will unfold
What are you waiting for, spread your wings and soar
