This is easily disprovable. See for example this post about being fired from the exact same company: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9158913

Context matters. Someone who opens https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941 (read the tweets that she references, it is ridiculous to be upset about them) should not be surprised not to be welcomed by people doing actual work. And having his texts interpreted accordingly.

Really? "Look, someone else wrote a post about leaving github and it wasn't received as negatively! It must because one was a white male and the other was transgender."

No. How about, the tone of the post is completely different?

One Github issue is not sufficient to gain a understanding of what it would be like work with someone. Any blanks that are being filled in here are being done by yours and others baises.This a proven effect in other cases: https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/03/are-succes...

Umm, people are not judging Coraline based on a single Github issue, but in her own description of how the people around her behaved and what she says she thought about it. The Opal business is entirely secondary.

It's fine if you think they have biases and you want to cite The Atlantic as some sort of proof of that, but that doesn't mean that those conclusions you don't like are automatically wrong.
