She's a billionaire. She feels entitled to say or do whatever she wants. She doesn't need to ever sell another book, and she may well be gaining more bigots than losing trans supporters. Even if not, she doesn't seem to care about that.

She's on a mission to take away freedoms from trans people all the while moaning about her own freedoms.
