I really don't think so. She never said anything about laws, all she said was that the way she is treated for being transgendered is unfair and she is prevented from getting a job for no other reason than her life choice.
Expressing disagreement with the way employers treat her is perfectly compatible with asking people not to interfere or condemn something which does not affect them in any way. Is your life going to be made worse by the fact that she is transgendered?
Furthermore, I don't see what is wrong with complaining about the unfair treatment she gets. If someone is being refused a job in the private sector, there may be some defense as it is the business owner who decides who he wants to employ. But in the public sector, there is no excuse. If the government discriminates against the people then it cannot properly represent the people. And this is a perfectly reasonable complaint in my opinion.
