So, she self censored herself by withdrawing her painting claiming POSSIBLE censorship .
and when offered a vid instead,, rejected that idea cuz she wanted to censor antitrans opinions...
Just Wow.

“The video would have opened up for debate the value of trans visibility and I was opposed to that..
no debate, settled science.

Someone should tell Amy that people can’t change their birth sex, that there are only two sexes and we’re born either male or female and we stay that way.

Statue of Liberty might be removed to avoid provoking President Trump This is an abomination, insult and warping of the meaning of the Statue of Liberty - and would have offended the majority of the American public.
Free or not, there would have been a boycott, and they knew it.
Of course, lefties would pile in as many school field trips as they could to show how popular the trans Statue of Liberty is.

As an artist, she should know that once you put it out there, you have no control over its reception. That’s why we cringe at “instant classics.” The artist expresses, the audience reacts. The IDEA of an artist expecting a certain reaction and not others is anathema to art. That’s more like propaganda.

The artist said that she made the decision after she said she learned that her painting of a transgender Statue of Liberty
might
be removed to avoid provoking President Trump....
NOte that once you stand up to evil, they retreat. We each have much work to do.

IRONY!!!
A transgender Statue of Liberty is naturally going to provoke debate. If she wants to promote her pro-trans views, she should welcome the opportunity to persuade skeptics.
But she’s a pro-censorship individual squawking about censorship being turned on her.
