Maybe it helps to know when to take in advice and when to take it with a grain of salt. My T has said that objectivity is a myth---everyone has their biases. Even T's.

I can only speak from my experience, that 95% of the time T is helpful but the other 5, he may be bringing his own beliefs/history even baggage to the table.

I used to cling to everything he said but I feel healthier that I can call him out on his biases and still understand that it won't ruin our relationship.

I'd hate to think that a T would let their personal beliefs interfere with exploring the possibilities of your identity. It bothers me that she came to a conclusion rather quickly without exploring the possibilities. T's have so much of our trust--I think it is healthy to keep listening to your inner voice as well as T.
