I can definitely understand this. I have a hard time, in general, with people who I feel don't mesh with my views.
I do also agree, tho, that the politics shouldn't affect the therapy. The office I go to specializes in issues for LGBT but that is not all they do. It is also a low income, sliding scale place. So, most of, if not all, the Ts that work there are naturally more liberal leaning. I would say when issues like gender or something is a primary focus, sometimes political views do need to at least agree somewhat.
Most importantly, tho, is what you feel is right for you. Are you happy with the level of care you have gotten? Are you able to being it up with your T? Possibly, they agree with you on those issues but other issues outweigh their choice... politics is never all one or the other. Usually, people agree with some stuff and not other stuff...
