But I don't believe it's "the industry" causing her problems, just seeming lack of ability to run a business. I've lost track of how many times she's folded a business venture because of a mix of poor business sense and personal problems.
There are actually a few other trans in the industry, but they don't broadcast it. They get on with doing what they do well.
BUT.
If you owe folks money and you have no intention of paying it back, that has nothing to do with gender, sex or equality. That is theft.
Giving running a business a shot and finding you’re not cut out for it doesn’t make you a bad person.
Doing it repeatedly (seemingly without learning anything about yourself, the industry you work in, or business in general), screwing other people over in the process, and then blaming everybody and everything apart from yourself I’m not so sure about.
That said I’m also not sure what it says about the suppliers, business partners, and customers who involve themselves in serial train crashes like this either as it does no favours for any of the people involved...
I’ve worked on two of them - supposedly the same model, the aptly-named Disaster fuzz. They sounded totally different, and I have no idea which, if either, was working ‘properly’ - their owners weren’t sure. They were an utter mess of jumbled wiring, shoddy soldering and sticky electrical tape inside and I had no great desire to investigate any further.
They would be unacceptable as a saleable product even without dodgy business practices.

Once again, I will pay you when I can, and I fully intend to do so... when I am able.
Unfortunately it's not as simple as "Oh, I see you are working again, and living, so therefore you should be able to give me money."
I have debt beyond this kickstarter. I have bills. I have a family to support. While I am self employed I have to balance numerous expenditures that are far more complex and evolving than simply cashing a paycheck every month. I have to take care of my mental and physical health so that I am alive long enough to pay people back.
3) A great deal of the money was spent on the design and prototyping. The rest bled out into stupid shit like eating out too much, supporting my girlfriend at the time, and not working enough on the normal day to day business of devi ever : fx. In other words I slacked off for a year or two.
That in itself painted quite an interesting picture. But, seeing as I had never heard of this person before I vacated the thread without a care in the world.
I don’t understand why some people use the internet to post such details on a business page.

1 - Start a business she doesn't know how to run, building something she doesn't know how to build, with skills she doesn't possess.
2 - Take money from loads of people based on the promises of somehow making something useful from the above.
3 - Use that money partly to pay off debts from her previous failed promises, but mostly on subsidising her lifestyle.
4 - Borrow more money to subsidise the lifestyle.
5 - Hit rock bottom, claim mental health issues (maybe there's a real diagnosis, maybe it's just the usual "I'm soooo depressed" thing from her generation, I have no idea).
6 - Blame everything on people hating trans folk, thus making those people less human and less deserving of being paid back.
7 - Take a break for a little while, go back to step #1.
I have zero sympathy. That's not because she's trans, or because she may or may not have genuine mental health issues. It's because she repeatedly and wilfully does this to people over and over again with zero consequences other than having to write an apology/blame-deflection post every couple of years.
She needs to get a job to support her lifestyle, pay back her debts the way any of the rest of us would, and stop screwing people over to try to get ahead in some Del Boy-esque scheme. Equally, her marks need to stop falling for it.
