Plus, sometimes you don’t want to teach your therapist about stuff. Like, hypothetically my current therapist would know what an ace polyamorous furry kinkster is; I wouldn’t need to define any of those terms.

Oh, and I’ve fired a physician that tried too hard to get me to talk to my mom, even after I pushed back. New physician was very understanding. I think queer folk are more likely to understand that relatives aren’t always family.
I guess they were friendly in the same way a boisterous German shepherd puppy is friendly: means well, but not a good playmate for my tiny arthritic senior dog.
(He’s snoring in my clean laundry and it’s adorable.)

Yeah, even my old one who was listed as being queer friendly I had to educate on trans issues and not saying things like “full women”
Oof.
