Sophie refuses to be canceled.

Watch her field questions from a hostile press:

That's 4 minutes, which probably felt like an eternity on the spot, of the nastiest people in the world (journalists) attempting to force Sophie into some kind of an apology.

Whether it's a steel spine or a complete lack of care for what anyone thinks, Sophie handled the fray perfectly.

I said what I said, I think it's kind of common sense. And I think I'll always believe in that. I think it's important to protect children, and that's little girls who are also involved in that category and I stand on what I said and I'll always believe that. ...

I have beliefs, I have morals, and I'll always stand on that and be true to who I am.

Many, many lesser men have folded to even less pressure than this. Like everyone who's used the wrong pronoun on purpose. Or anyone who publicly pretended that a "he" is a "she" in offices all the way to the Supreme Court.

It's common sense, but five years ago her team would probably have sidelined her.

Not anymore:

Bravery begets bravery, and it just takes one courageous person to start a movement.
