Was she fired because she refused to use he/her or he/her/god knows
what?

I am an Attack Helicopter and shall henceforth be referred to as such.
I can remember when this pronoun discussion first started up many
years ago. People deriding it often said they should be referred to as
attack helicopters henceforth instead of he or she.

My question is of course designed to see if her "crime" was the same
one that brought Jordan Peterson to prominence or something else?
(Peterson said he'd use he/her as desired but wouldn't use a made up
pronoun)
