I found a better article about this story: https://thedesk.net/2025/06/kayla-mae-wikipedia-lawsuit-sinkule/

The woman, Kayla Mae — who also goes by the name Kayla Morgan — employed the same attorney and law firm in a discrimination case brought against a Texas-based company called Security Brands, where she alleged ongoing workplace abuse and harassment because of her sexual orientation.

In her first lawsuit, Mae said she worked as a senior software developer for Security Brands in 2020. From the moment she was hired, Mae says she was subjected to harassment because of her gender identity as a “lesbian female who presents as masculine.”

“She is sometimes perceived as transgender, although she is not,” the complaint read.

That is different from what Mae alleges in the case against Wikimedia Foundation, where her complaint identifies her as a “transgender female” who was subject to “gender stereotyping.”

It sounds like she is gaming the system deliberately. 2 times getting fired from 2 different companies for similar reason? Sounds fishy.

Mae says the Wikimedia Foundation ultimately sustained certain complaints made against Mbuguru. But, despite those policy violations, she was still required to work on his team, which led to additional harassment and discrimination that was the basis for further complaints.

Months into her employment, Mae was reportedly asked to speak with two Wikimedia Foundation human resource directors, Tatiana Tompkins and DeJa Hamilton, and a senior software engineering manager named Sai Suman Cherukwada. After speaking with Mae about her complaints, Cherukwada fired her over Zoom, the lawsuit alleges.

She was fired during she made the complaint? With the pot stirring comment and this background I'm mostly convinced she is a the problem here, she is looking for drama everywhere. These kind of individuals don't help the trans right movement, and lgbtqnation.com should do a better background check on people they report about.
