For those of you who don’t already know, I’m a Twitch livestreamer who was looking for some more people to be my chat mods and social media managers since I only had one of those at present for both things. I posted on Twitter lamenting about how I only had one chat mod and one social media manager (who were the same exact person, no less), which caused someone who saw my posts to respond to me indicating that they would love to do whatever they could to help. This wound up being a non-binary individual by the name of Tristan. After discussing it with them for a bit I came to the conclusion and realization that they would be perfect for managing the kind of content I want to create, so I made them a chat mod of mine… and this caused no shortage of people to bombard my Twitter Mentions expressing disgust in them for being non-binary as though I should rescind the offer I made them on the sole basis of that. I indicated to the people who began swarming my Mentions that I had taken their concerns into consideration and would continue to do so, but that for now I did not want to continue being harassed over this individual or this decision of mine.
This caused one of the individuals in question to dox me with the help of a few of these friends, posting the names of all household members of mine, posting my address, and posting my son’s unlisted phone number encouraging people to contact him and to remind him not to tell me. From there, she went on a rampage of almost nothing but lies — that it was my father who was dead, not my mother, that my maiden name was my mother’s last name “because my father was a deadbeat”, that she somehow gained illegal access to state computing systems about my inability to sustain substantial gainful employment, that I was never married (which quickly changed to “I was divorced and my husband was trying to get sole custody of the kids when he died”) which went along with her claims that he faked his own death, that my sister-in-law did not identify his body, that my in-laws allegedly hate me… the whole nine yards, except it became really apparent rather quickly that this individual suffered from, and suffers from, something that affects their cognition and short-term memory. The individual in question also gloats about being friends with transphobic people who delight in making “the percentage joke” which I personally want nothing to do with.
Even if this individual never harasses or stalks me again, I still want to move to a safer state in the States.
And before I forget to mention this, this individual and their friends defaced my husband’s memorials online.
