This is a great account of "what."

I'm still struggling to understand the "why."

(That's not an implicit criticism of the article, which is extremely appreciated because it's neutral and factual)

I've been away from Ruby for a few years but Shopify always seemed like a huge net positive, sponsoring lots of valuable work on both Ruby and Rails. I never followed Ruby community happenings very closely but I'm not aware of negative feelings towards their community role in the past.

The "what" seems to be purely a reaction to this article DHH posted: https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64

Apparently, the reason is having an incorrect opinion.

The victim mindset of these people is on another level. DHH presents the openly transphobic Graham Linehan as some kind of free speech victim.

Oh, I should read the actual tweet? Funny the actual tweet is so much worse than I imagined.

If a trans-women is in a space that she is legally entitled to be in, according to him one should:

> Make, a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him[he means the trans-women] in the balls

He is literally telling people to be violent against trans people. And then cries when actions have consequences.

These people are like the school yard bully who will start a fight with you then cry "timeout, timeout" when you punch back. And go to the teacher to convince you they are the real victim.

It is interesting you cut off the first part of the tweet and replaced it with "legally entitled to be in".

It apparently isn't legal in UK? And also not widely legal in the US yet.

Anyways it seems to me that the debate hasn't been completely resolved yet.
