Mr. Roy Schestowitz is the ringleader in a hate campaign involving transgender and disability discrimination on his website Techrights and his wife’s Tux Machines site. This involved doxxing, defamation and group stalking that made me feel unsafe and discriminated against.

The bald faced lies he published are designed to spread hate and transphobia towards me and other transgender individuals by defaming me and making fabrications to destroy my reputation online. He is engaging in pure DARVO, pretending to be a victim when he is the perpetrator.

Roy seems to think that labeling me as a criminal is justification to publish transphobic articles. This is seriously problematic. This is a tactic used by the far-right to demonize transgender people.

It all started in July 2023 when I found out that Roy got fired from Sirius Open Source. I told Matthew Garrett in the Techrights IRC channel that Roy was fired. Roy got upset and freaked out. He doxxed my deadname and linked to an old classmates profile that had my deadname and old photo. Roy asked if I helped my old boss collect child porn, essentially labeling me a pedophile. I left TechRights chat without responding. I was disgusted by his behaviour.
