I wonder if it has more to do with the therapist's theoretical orientation than with their biology. It's probably harder to feel close to a blank slate T of either sex, whereas a more touchy-feely T, whether male or female, might elicit feelings of closeness and longing.
Certainly it's common for straight women to develop sexual feelings for a female T, and it can be quite confusing. So I don't think there's any guarantee that seeing a female T will be the solution to those pesky transference issues!
