on the 29th it'll be the one year anniversary of my neighbour following me up my path and trying to break into my house to know what my gender was, which led to me having to flee my house. i dont know how to process the anniversary tbh bc im still traumatised from it

still grateful to everyone who helped me during that period, including those who offered places to stay (and those i stayed with) while searching for a new house. the harassment from him went on for weeks and the police response was horrific

i havent made peace with it yet, and i think public declarations of trauma need to be carefully managed, but part of me still wants to go 'look what happened to me! believe me! listen to me!' and i guess that's what this is. i'll probably write a medium post closer to the date

i realised this today bc i still check the doors are locked three times before going to bed

nobody has done this but just in case: please dont retweet from this thread, even to 'raise awareness' or anything, you will be blocked
