Meaning
This reads as a statement about identity as a form of professional authority. Tosi is saying that skill matters, but so does holding firm to who she is, and that her role cannot be separated from her self-respect and gender. It lands in workplaces where women are expected to soften themselves to fit in, and she is refusing that bargain.
