I've never seen anything about these firings. Could you refer me to news/blog posts?

(I'm neither attacking nor questioning your statement, just curious about when/how this happened, what was the followup, etc.)

I guess it was a drama related to libreboot. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libreboot.

> In September 2016 the lead developer announced that the project would leave the GNU Project and in January 2017, Richard Stallman announced that Libreboot was released from the GNU project. The reason for the dispute was allegations from the lead maintainer that FSF had fired a transgender employee because the employee reported gender harassment. The FSF denied these allegations the same day. In April 2017, the Libreboot project removed the accusations from their website, the lead developer apologised for what happened and control of the website was transferred to another contributor.
