It says liberal not leftist. Liberalism is right wing on everything except social issues.

So, in other words, they're left wing in every way that is substantively important.

No, leftist ideology is 99% economic because power is derived from wealth inequality. Flattening racial and gender hierarchy happen to go along with that concept of flattening all power hierarchy.

Liberals use performative wokeness to hyper focus on things like race and trick people into believing that appointing a few oligarchs of color solves racism and economic disparity while they do things like bail out a failed bank.

I fail to see how this contradicts what I said. Leftist ideology being based in economics doesn't make the fact that they're socially liberal any less wrong, and it doesn't make their other views matter more.

You said "in every way that is substantively important". I don't think there is substance to the way liberals use tokenism to pretend to care about populist views. Liberals want to maintain a power hierarchy. It's just a different hierarchy from the old patriarchal system.

There is another group of people who we could toss the "mental issues" label at. Probably the people you were referring to originally. It's women who self identity as leftists but don't really align with any leftist ideology. They just to do no work, benefit from what they would receive from a leftist political system if it existed, while paradoxically thinking they are better than everyone else and trying to build a new hierarchy with them at the top of the pyramid.

It's like how the ACLU is historically very leftist and in the past defended the KKK's freedom of speech. Now the ACLU is starting to fill up with these younger authoritarian, anti speech, fake leftists who try to ban people from saying incredibly mild takes about transgender people online.

Banning people from disagreeing with their current stage of cultural erosion is textbook leftism, as is hypocritically claiming to be working for "equality" while making conditions far worse.

So yes, these people and liberals in general are extremely leftist, unless your definition of leftism discounts every single historical application of Leftism.
