As you point out, she's done nothing most people would care about. Yet you study with Talmudic fervor what other people have opined, ignoring the central question, was her right to free speech censored?

She started out as an MMA fighter. She not some Harvard intellectual. She lives in the culture of personal responsibility and effort. Unlike most actors in the TV series, she has actually been bloodied while doing her job. She has a powerful following because she's legit in that world. She, and those who relate to her, don't believe people should force others into how they address you him/he/it, whatever.

Disney wanted some authenticity, which it got, but it was Disney’s time to walk the talk of free speech, they fired her instead.

Why muddy the issue? Disney fired tens of thousands who received poverty level assistance from Florida. Disney knew what she and her fans were feeling; where they are heading.

They aren't heading to a seminar on Nazi history.
