I'm pretty sure it is a therapist's job to work through their issues to the point that they don't flinch when and if someone bashes something or presents something they don't agree with. I think it is called transference/countertransference.

Counter-transference, yes.

Pro therapists are aware of their own prejudices and keep them in check...in order to allow for healthy transference to occur.

Being angry and thinking that your therapist "isn't getting it" is sometimes a sign of progress.
