Putting yourself out there is going to gain you some haters. It doesn't matter who you are, there's always someone out there who won't like you. Most of them are just full of hot air.. everyone's brave when attacking people over the internet.

I wouldn't worry about these mails so much.. Just delete and block the person and move on. No need to worry so much about it. Matter of fact, maybe put all your hate mail on your blog for everyone to see. Include the person's email address, so that your fans can show he or she some love. 

Anyone who is on the internet should know not to post personal info. As long as nobody has this, you're ok.

Just need to be smart. For instance it's safe enough to tell all you internet strangers that my name is Veronika and that I live in the Chicago area. Good luck finding me, you'll be old and grey before you get done knocking on doors.  But I'm not giving you my street address, my license plate number, where I work, anything like that.

As long as nobody has any of this info, no worries. Tell that person to shove it and block them. If they say they know where you live, tell them that you will be waiting for them... with a gun. At least that's what I'd do.

I put up a new blog. The privacy settings are very tight (no one can even comment). Next: To tighten up security on my youtube account. All of this is for personal/ friend use anyway.

its the "christians" that condemn us the most.......they sure do love to pass judgement on everyone! lol

*hug*

Strange though... I'm public 'bout my transition and I haven't gotten any trolls nor hatemail to my various places on the internet... ever...
Maybe I'm just not in the "right" places...

Well, in a way receiving hate mail is kind of validating  It proves I'm doing something right. Not even once did this person refer to me with male pronouns, which was odd. I don't have the e-mail anymore, but here are the confusing parts:

This person said they were a "fundamental christian," and then I think they called me a "fundamental christian," then said something insane about trans revelations that I could not interpret. Apparently this person misinterpreted my post about spirituality and how faith provided no cure to what I then believed to be my "odd condition." They said they wish me peace, then called me selfish and hate filled. Of course, they mentioned spirituality and religion to be the cure. (All lies, veiled hate speech, and weirdness)

This person accused me of spreading many hateful attacks against people. (lie)

This person accused me of attacking them personally and acted as though we had spoken before, and this may be true, if they were one particular person I've had a bout with over the PM's here. I have taken a jab at this one person in total (for confusing the heck out of me, slandering me, and acting like a teenage child) but never regarding their beliefs, and not by name. This person has been tracked to the U.K. and I've never been to the U.K., but the previously mentioned poster did live there. They neglected to tell me who they were. (lies and misdirection)
------

I am just tired of it. Hence, the "going dark," and my relative disappearance from the site. I've given a deletion serious thought before, to protect my privacy and security, and I think I may have to mull it over even more.

Meh this is why I don't keep a transition related blog.

Post his email and email address here and I'm sure we can generate a few emails to him!

Nah, not my style. I already have one fiend of mine cooking up something spectacular. 

Hi Emma, good to see this hasn't got you down.   Anyway, revenge is a dish best eaten cold as they say.

Not sure if that is a uniquely american phrase but I think it is a "dish best SERVED cold."  Meaning wait a while until they aren't expecting it.

Well, I received my third hate mail courtesy of my blog (this person called themselves a fundamentalist christian, I doubt it, as though there were such a thing  ) while I was watching Harry Potter with my daughter today. Needless to say, this ruined the movie for me, and dampened my spirits, thereby messing up my daughter's good time by extension.

I tore down the blog, I changed my e-mail address, and I have sent the e-mail, complete with the person's e-mail address, to my dear lawyer friend to see if we can rack up some kind of terror or mischief charge, and my oldest best friend who happens to be a notorious trouble maker

I have decided not to maintain a blog, and I will simply keep up my youtube account. I will not link up anything public to this site, and I do believe that this particular trouble maker was (or may still be) a member here. If this person tries to contact me here I will leave Susan's as well. I have the lives of three people to maintain, have made other serious mistakes that I am trying to deal with, and need no such distractions.

Moral of the story: being trans and being public with it is a serious pain. /sigh

you don't need to leave this site if he contacts you here. you can report it, and rest assured, he would be banned. it's your choice if you quit on something because of some haters, but you'll only give them what they want. those people sending hate mail must be jealous.

"Emma"  someone who lies to the level you do, you think lying yet again by calling me a fundamentalist christian, very funny as I said you had been exactly that.  For the record I'm not religious but I'm not an atheist either, I find it all an interesting area purely as an observer.

On your site you said used to HATE LGBT people BECAUSE of your religious indoctrination THAT'S a fundamentist christian, they exist and YOU were one of them.  You'd made a swipe at me by saying you can't be friends with someone who bashes LGBT people again on your site, I called you that defamatory attack.

THEN you came here and did this.

Holy Necromancy, Batman!

I havent seen necromancy like this since the days of my Dungeons and Dragons exploits!!

That must have taken a good while to dig through dozens of pages to find this thread!!!

I want you all to understand that Adrienne is the user which inspired this thread.

I have not heard a word from her in over a month, in fact, she's blocked so I didn't even read the post she resurrected this thread with, and I won't. She has proven time and again to be irrational, she has stalked me for months, and she is beyond my understanding. I seriously don't know how this all started.

Oh look! a smite  I  suppose I will have my enemies... I'm satisfied with her as one. I will have this thread locked, and request that appropriate action be taken. This is clearly harassment.

Lynn, Annah, Emma... What's up, girlfriends!! I hope you all are having a great day. It's beautiful here in South Florida. Skies cleared out and in came some nice cool weather.

Oh, back to the topic at hand. Please pardon my ADD tendencies.
Adrienne, thanks for outing yourself.
I know now who to avoid on this site.

you dug up a four month old post to say that?

wow. That's a little disconcerting.

Hi!

Well, since the post was reported I had to read it 

I confessed that I was once in an evangelical church and thought that could at one time cure me. To think I haven't paid enough in time served, trauma, or masculinization for my ignorance is ridiculous.

The context of the mail Adrienne (thanks for letting everyone know it was you, by the way) sent me made it sound as though she was a fundamentalist christian, the message was unclear, it was harassment, and it was inspired by anger. I was content with not ever hearing from or about her again. Contact will not continue.

Emma I was in your shoes too. i was an evangelical fundamentalist pastor.

Do not let anyone try to trap you in your past. Those who do that...feel sorry for them because the only attacks they have against you is by attacking your past in which you are no longer part of.

Take hope in know if someone trolls you based on your past it means nothing
