I didn't fully understand why Richard Stallman had to leave his position at the Free Software Foundation but I think companies seized the opportunity to take control of the #FSF.
Now, Leah Rowe, founder of #Libreboot and trans person writes a letter defending #RMS against the accusation of him being transfobic, defends his key role for #freesoftware to exist and denounces the movements of companies and organizations infiltrated in the #freesoftware movement.
If you support Free Software, believe in freedom of speech, freedom of community and social justice (true social justice, where a person is treated with dignity and not cancelled just for their beliefs), sign your name here:

Thanks for the info, @ivan zlax! I'll read the links.
By the way, ussr.win/item/d7d5e697-5e69-44… works fine.
@Robert Dinse I think there's neither self mutilation nor mental illness:
- Trans people go through a whole medical process which may or may not include plastic surgery. Are people who use plastic surgery mentally illed?
- I don't fully understand trans people because I don't feel like them, but I think they just feel their biological sex doesn't match the gender they feel, so they go through that medical process and people misunderstanding just to be true to themselves and honest with other people.
Because they're just being true and honest, do no harm to anybody and don't force other people to do the same they have all my respect.
I'm not joining this discussion and I see no reason for it to be pursued with the people present, but this should be here:

I don't like M$ anywhere near free software: they embrace open source, not free software, because they get free labor that way, and undermine the free software movement.
I knew that RMS tried to exonerate somebody linked to Epstein but I couldn't then quite understand what exactly he said. I think I've read these days that it was related to some sexual relationship that professor had with a student, and RMS said she consented that relationship.
Clicking in ussr.win/link/6266518 opens a new window where I can compose a new message.
As I said, I don't know all the details, but despite RMS could've said something regretable I think behind the curtains a fight for power is happening. On one side, because Free Software wouldn't exist without RMS I give him much credit, but if he resigned for whatever reasons and doesn't regret them I don't understand him back in FSF board.
Anyway, thought worth sharing Leah Rowe's statement. I also read Defend Richard Stallman letter and find it reasonable.
