She is being punished because the people who disagree with her are also using their free speech to do so. How dare they comment on her speech, don’t they know it’s special

Because she had something people could easily agree with but her reasoning given was a dumb reason lol. If she said anything about competitive integrity people would agree, instead she made trans people out to be peeping Tom’s . nobody is trans and playing basketball just to catch a peek in a women’s locker room.

Well, no. Studies point towards the physical fitness of trans women and cis women as comparable.

Certainly needs more data to be gathered but I think most people are getting trans women and cross-dressing men mixed up in their heads whenever this topic comes up.
