A dev contributes to open-source, also personally expresses (in an entirely different context) views about Trans that she dislikes. Demands the dev be forcibly removed from the project, invites others into thread to say how terrible it is one of the developers has the wrong political views. Suggests (prescribes) this will put people off contributing, but while borderline threatening to spread the news of said dev's views in order to make sure this happens.

She doesn't care about said project, but to promote the idea of political cleansing in open source.

Meh's comments, while to course, are correct in the sentiment that she isn't really contributing anything, but is instead attacking. HOWEVER, he should of said "because you won't" rather than "can't", since that's just an unjustified attack on her competence as a dev.

they opened with 'Transphobic maintainer should be removed from project'. hard for me to see that as measured.

I know. I like how the response from the project has gems like this:

  > Protip: you won't because you can't.
