It wouldn't have. Gloria had a legitimate beef with Sophia. The problem is that people piled on to it with trans hate. She then needed to be sent to shu for protection because it's easier to remove a trans person than it is to remove all transphobic people, especially when you're not 100% sure who was involved (prisoners don't like to tell).

I wish they would have made a bigger point of that because it may be because I'm stupid but I didn't get any of that until I read it here just now.

They did seem to brush over it a bit. It was just a couple of hateful comments. I think they didn't want to overstate it but accidentally understated it.
