I do not like Thai or Vietnamese food. Lots of Thai and Vietnamese restaurants near me and I cannot make use of them. Why? No reason. But I can't change my
taste. These restaurants are very popular, so I am in the minority not going to them.
I imagine she cannot change her
taste either. And she is in the minority, too.
I imagine she just needs to learn to be careful and not take great risks while pursuing her interests. But I doubt she can or should even try to change the underlying interests. After all, before American psych authorities stopped treating homosexuality as a treatable aberration (I believe in the early 1970s), people wanted homosexuals to change their behaviors or tried to "cure them", but we do not do it anymore, by and large. I imagine that it is the same thing - OP is just the way she is.
