View submission: Should we have freedom of hate speech?
So what's your take on the cancellation of individuals voicing opinions about controversial topics. For example
Is it impeding on someone's rights to refute their idiology?

There's a few things to say there.
First, as I explained in detail above, freedom of expression does not mean "I can say whatever I want". The content of what's being said matters. So.. What was the content of the radio show? What did she actually say?
From your article, **there are no quotes** from the radio show. There is no indication of the content. a person could say "I think that transgender spaces pose some serious questions regarding policies", which is perfectly fine. Or one could say [insert bunch of slurs], which is not fine. You could call both "questioning gender ideology", but there is a clear difference between those two.
Perhaps I could put this in terms you understand. There is a clear difference between saying "white people face struggles in society, though there are certain issues that don't really affect white people", and saying "I don't understand white people. They're also horrible to look at." You *could* say that both of these are rejecting some "ideology", but it's obvious that they're very different statements.
In short, your article provides *one interpretation* of why she was removed, but does not lay out *what was actually said*.
