The FSF responded with this statement: https://www.fsf.org/news/free-software-foundation-statement They're lying. The employee (who I won't name, because I don't want her harrassed) was being harassed by another employee who was transphobic. Her fellow co-worker sided with him and then she started standing up for herself because she was being bullied. She was identified as a threat to the FSF's internal stability and then she was fired. What should have happened is the people bullying her should have been fired. Which is these people: Stephen Mahood Ruben Rodriguez We in the libreboot project will never accept this. That's why we left GNU. -- Leah Rowe Libreboot developer Use free software.
