Notes -
In my interaction with therapists I think many of them aren't as broken by social justice as you might expect from the training and reading material. Fundamentally the goal is to help people, and the reality of the darkness you see helping with mental illness sands off some of the naive edges I think.
So great at playing the language games though yikes.
Yeah, that's certainly been true for my wife. After a few years of wanting the hard luck cases and the downtrodden, she's learning that working harder than her clients is a bad idea and that too much of that sort of thing is burning her out. That said, it was certainly an experience when she wanted to talk about Systemic Racism with me, blissfully unaware that I'd been around the internet more than long enough to have experienced many HBD debates and that the argument she was making was essentially straight from the Dread Jim with the serial numbers filed off. GUH.
Language games, of course, lead inevitably to The Rectification Of The Names. Alas.
I would say you could fix her, but sounds like she doesn't need fixing.
I wonder how much seethe it would cause on /r/CoupleMemes if one posted a video of a young attractive white couple cuddling while a male AI voice reads (naturally, with subtitles that proceed one word at a time):

Is there a video, TV show, or movie that wouldn’t automatically be better with the main male lead Replaced by racially aware dapper gas station guy?
Somewhere, Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel just broke out in a cold sweat and they don’t know why.
