I am at my breaking point. I can't anymore. So fuck it.. Edmund Humenberger is an abuser. A racist. A bigot. The most toxic person I have ever met in my entire life.

And I enabled him. Brought him into our community. Validated his existence here by allowing him to associate himself with me. By giving him credibility by working with him. For this I am so terribly sorry. For this I am so unspeakably sorry.

I saw what he was doing to members of this community. I saw how he behaved towards the people here. I knew of his alt twitter account. I did nothing. I should have quit years ago. Instead I just threatened to quit again and again and then never followed through.

Because I allowed him to gaslight me into believing I couldn't achieve anything without him. That I couldn't even exist without him. Because I was afraid. All that became better after I started my transition. My confidence grew. But so did his frustrations with me.

So in October 2020 he fired me and one of my team without notice (pay until end of contract at the end of the year but seize all work activity immediately). And he told everyone else he'd pay them until Nov and negotiate the conditions of their future employment until then.

Ultimately none of my team stayed. But he re-hired that transphobe. Afaik it's just the two of them now. Since then he is forcing me to keep my shares of the company by only offering deals for my shares that would give him even more power over me and my life.

He has decided that I am unable to even exist without him. And now he needs the power to destroy my life's work and my existence, so he can prove himself right whenever he wants. I can't give him that. All I want is for him to leave me alone. All he wants is control over me.
