    That is not a bold claim, that is a factual statement from someone that works directly in the field.

    Yes, a specific example is being in a men’s session and having one of the female counselors invalidate the males’ experience because “Oh yeah, you should try being a woman in a man’s world”. That is just one tiny incident, but it is revelatory of a series of repugnant biases.

      Sounds like with that one specific incident it was that chick being shitty at her job. I’m a female and have had female mental health providers treat me like garbage too. It’s not a woman vs man thing. Some people are just shit humans regardless of their sex.
