She should switch to conducting.

Trolls don’t have causes. They only want a reaction, and will say anything about anyone, regardless of the situation, in order to get one. In real life they are usually incapable of caring about others except in terms of their own benefit (e.g. they “love” their parents because they provide food and a place to live). Conducting Feminista has found a pretty reliable way to get a rise out of people on this site.

“Their particular vulnerabilities, such as language barriers, add a layer of complexity when something goes wrong.”
Translation: cheaper to throw away.

It was not an insult, conducting would be a viable way for her to continue as a musician, perhaps the best, if she has the um, chops, for it.
