Restriction of Non-Symmetric Relation is Not Necessarily Non-Symmetric

Theorem
Let $S$ be a set.

Let $\mathcal R \subseteq S \times S$ be a non-symmetric relation on $S$.

Let $T \subseteq S$ be a subset of $S$.

Let $\mathcal R \restriction_T \ \subseteq T \times T$ be the restriction of $\mathcal R$ to $T$.

Then $\mathcal R \restriction_T$ is not necessarily a non-symmetric relation on $T$.

Proof
Proof by Counterexample:

Let $S = \left\{{a, b}\right\}$.

Let $\mathcal R = \left\{{\left({a, b}\right), \left({b, b}\right)}\right\}$.

$\mathcal R$ is a non-symmetric relation, as can be seen by definition.

Now let $T = \left\{{b}\right\}$.

Then $\mathcal R \restriction_T \ = \left\{{\left({b, b}\right)}\right\}$.

So:
 * $\forall x, y \in T: \left({x, y}\right) \in \mathcal R \restriction_T \implies \left({y, x}\right) \in \mathcal R \restriction_T$

as can be seen by setting $x = y = b$.

So $\mathcal R \restriction_T$ is a symmetric relation on $T$.

That is, $\mathcal R \restriction_T$ is not a non-symmetric relation on $T$.
