Techrights Faces Legal Consequences for Roy Schestowitz’s Transphobic Content – The Legal Beaver (legalbeaver.ca)

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.

No evidence presented in that article I note. Non sequiturs abound. And how did the author know what Schestowitz was saying on IRC if the author left disgusted.

  1. There is a live feed of IRC that is updated every 5 minutes: http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-status.txt
  2. Schestowitz publishes daily irc logs
  3. I didn't want to link to Techrights website to show the evidence. I do have a list of URLs that have been submitted to the HRTO.

I'll provide a single URL in good faith: https://techrights.org/o/2023/08/29/hate-speech-by-brandon-britney-lozza/

That seems really odd. If a person is so disgusted that they parted an IRC channel, it seems bizarre that they would then go back to read more from the source of their disgust.

There was a month in between leaving IRC and discovering articles about me. After discovering the articles, I started monitoring the IRC logs. I'm gathering evidence for the lawsuit.
