Gina Carano was fired because it was a gross and offensive parallel to make that republicans of today are treated anywhere nearly as wrongly as Jewish people in Nazi Germany. There is a nuance.

This also says nothing of Gina Carano's history of transphobic comments, which Disney didn't care about because they didn't make as much press but still says much about her character.

So you think it is OK for employers to enforce conformity of thought? I suppose that _your_ thoughts will never become problematic, right?

The point isn't that they are. The point is that _this is where it starts_. It's a warning about where we're going if political vitriol continues. Perhaps review the ten stages of genocide [1] and see if you can draw any parallels.

What specific things did she say that were "transphobic"?
