You communicated it fine. It's an "odd" take because you're being deliberately obtuse.
She's hurt. Maybe she's being hyperbolic about being "erased" but this was something she was truly proud of and it's been taken away.
It wasn't taken away because she did something wrong. It was taken away because they decided she was given the honour because of her identity, not because of her accomplishments.
Let that sink in: They've erased a public acknowledgement of her because of her identity. Because she's a woman, NASA, her country, are no longer proud of her, so now she doesn't know how to feel.
I think she has the right to be hyperbolic, and I think you're the one who needs to get out from behind your keyboard and "touch grass". She already walked over fields of it to get here. (But of course, how would you know that? Her story was erased.)
