There are many defintions of the word stir here . You could be right and have "stir" mean "a state of disturbance, agitation, or brisk activity", but it could also mean "widespread notice and discussion".

Glitter Informer is right, the widespread reaction to this was NOT a negative one. The same article goes on to say this:

"It seems that the characters' words of support not only reached their fellow characters in the episode, but also touched the real-world audience. Many net commenters responded in support of the episode's message that encourages children to be who they want to be, regardless of their gender or how other people may respond. Some commenters noted that the words and messages in the episode may help children with worries that arise as they grow and develop into adults. Some viewers also emphasized that the message of "anyone can do or become anything" is applicable to people of all ages. "
