The reason I take stalkers very seriously and why I think there is a stalker problem among men who claim to be “trans”…  I haven’t seen or spoken to or had any contact with my stalker in SEVEN YEARS now. Yet he is fixated.  To this day he continues to try to ruin our lives and talks shit about me to everyone and anyone he meets, even strangers.  I’ve had strangers approach me IRL to tell me what he’s said about me to them, without him even knowing them either.  Some of the lies he’s published about me publicly will affect my life forever.  It’s why time and time again another person will suddenly publicly rally against us online after spending time with him - shouting about how my fella is being abused by me, and how I “need to be stopped”. People hear these wild lies from my stalker and they get riled up and angry about what they’re hearing then they decide to go on a public justice seeking rampage about it. The most recent one was just before Christmas.  It’s no coincidence that these people only have a problem with me after spending time with my stalker.  Many people feel sorry for my stalker too because he claims it’s the other way around.  He cries, real tears, to people in real life. I guess that’s pretty compelling to a lot of people. I’m not a crier so I’m not as believable.  My stalker publicly claims I’m the one stalking him so he’s in fear for his life and people fall for it.  People publicly post things like “I’ve been watching her social media for you and her behaviour towards you is escalating I fear for your safety she is so unhinged” This is because he claims that all of my posts and all of my art is a coded personal attack against him and that if you don’t see it - it’s because you’re not looking properly.  Plenty of people, some I know IRL and some I don’t, have publicly talked about how they “keep an eye on” me on his behalf.  It’s hard not to hear about things like this when everyone you once knew is talking about it. Guaranteed I don’t even know the half of it.  I blocked him on every social media I have seven years ago and have blocked over a dozen new fake accounts since then yet he still accesses and watches everything I do.  It’s hard to explain how it feels living your life knowing you’re being watched specifically by one person you know IRL who has ill intent and has expressed unfounded hostility and anger towards you in the past, especially when that unfounded hostility and aggression is the reason you ended the friendship with him. Which is true in my case.  I assume people believe him and not me because he claims to identify as “trans” now and for some reason people always presume innocence when it comes to anyone who claims to identify as “trans”.  That’s the problem. If men like this didn’t have “but I’m trans now” to fall back on, they’d be seen for what they are, but because they’re “trans” they’re believed, protected and supported above and beyond any reasonable measure.  I fully expect this status to be reported to the police right away.  It’s happened before. I also fully expect to have the threat of being sued for talking about this, he likes to threaten to sue me for “defamation” whenever I try to talk about what’s happened to me even though I’ve never named anybody who’s been involved in my continued attempted cancellation.  I know from other women in a similar situation with their own stalkers that this threat is not to be taken lightly, these men (yes they’re almost always men) will sue their targets and have them arrested whenever they can.   Even the police have admitted to me personally this is harassment but refuse to intervene, which I’ve learned is common for police to do.  This is a problem.
