Fair, I should caveat that heavily! She linked to a thread on the Linux forums (?) where that accusation was leveled by a few people using their real names, but I didn't do that research myself. I've never heard of this person, so that's not from previous knowledge either.

I'll say this: given that and the top comment under this very post, I think it's undeniable that Justine has certain very conservative views that differ greatly from the tolerance and acceptance that is A) the default in professional online spaces, and B) implied by raising money by citing transphobia. *I have no first-hand evidence that she literally directly supports Trump though, and my sincere apologies if I was misled on that point.*

Clearly she's soured on them at the least tho, given the complaints about the transphobia of the 'current US government' in this post.

"Wow it turns out I just invented something damaging about someone, let me just equivocate that it's not so bad to lie about this, since I think they're a bad person anyway."
Yeah that sure would be a crazy thing to say. I would hate if someone said that!
