I couldn't disagree more. Self-harm is a common symptom of PTSD. Her experience reads like textbook workplace abuse leading to PTSD. Yes, a toxic work environment is absolutely a known cause for PTSD. So no, it is not an "extreme personality" to be driven to self-harm from a toxic work environment that involves instances of physical sexual harassment, belittling, and threats of firing.

This is where the victim rule comes in. She was (allegedly) victimized, and nothing about her story comes off as contrived or exaggerated. Nobody is saying to take LTT down and wipe them out, but like all victims who have come out she has the RIGHT to have her testimony taken at face value until or unless it is proven otherwise. Not in a court of law, but in the court of public opinion and people's opinions of her. And yes, that means until we know otherwise, it is reasonable to judge LTT on this, especially because it is compatible with everything else that's come out about them.
