A former employee of Wikipedia’s parent company has filed a federal lawsuit alleging she was fired after reporting her direct supervisor for gender discrimination and harassment.
The woman, Kayla Mae, was hired by the Wikimedia Foundation in November 2022, where she worked as a software engineer for nearly two years.
Her role allowed her to work remotely from Texas, and she was assigned to work on a team managed by Dennis Mburugu, a Wikimedia employee based in Kenya.
Within the first few months of her employment, she encountered problems with Mburugu, according to her complaint. Among other things, Mburugu asked her inappropriate questions about her sexual identity — she is a transgender female — and inquired about her medical history, Mae wrote in the complaint.
Well, we all know you’re anti-lgbt, regardless of the alleged incident.
We all know you didn’t think before you typed, regardless of the incident. Anyone can make allegations, we have to wait to find out if they are true, that’s the burden of civilization. Or at least how it’s supposed to work.
They’ve made anti-lgbt comments before. I thought about how they aren’t commenting on this for any other reason.
I gave them a quick scroll through. I didn’t see anything overtly anti-lgbt. Have any sources?
It’s subtle, but there.

It’s subtle because it’s in your head.
Oof, that’s a comment in terrible taste.
Why? This is what I responded to, look at the context. He also insinuated in earlier comments that him being in a same sex marriage somehow supported his argument? Arguing about living in a state that allow same sex marriage was a “feature” of USA, where the obvious problem is the states that don’t.
And please notice that that comment ended the discussion. Because it was so stupid I didn’t care to respond to that.
I don’t care if people are gay or not, but clearly it’s an issue to u/blakenong.
IDK why he interpreted it as an anti gay comment, when clearly by his own admission, it was a strong influence on him.
Look at you tripping all over yourself trying to defend your sensitive white heterosexual male feelings. The problem with people like you is that you are incapable of understanding anything outside of yourself because you’ve never had to face any real challenges in life. Then you go off and mock other people as if you’re somehow superior because of what you were born with but never earned.
