I would say it creates a world where women are dismissed completely as “dramatic, overreacting, or lying”.

I have been dealing with a beyond bad, life altering, actually life ending issue since September 2019 which is still ongoing, unabated.

I have come to believe one thousand percent if I had been male this situation would have been taken seriously immediately and I would have been heard in September 2019, not still sitting invisible, ignored, and ridiculed in June 2020.

I have just managed to access Medium last week after being unable to log in since, yes, September 2019. I have no idea how I “logged in” or how long “access” will be “granted” to me, as I have not had any help in this situation, nor do I foresee any soon, if ever.

Not identity theft. Humanity theft.

Truthfully, it is.

I am unable to contact anyone unless I go in person to said individual. Not able to access emails, Internet, cell phone, texts, etc…

All calls that are managed through some miracle, all subsequent visits to law enforcement, Apple Stores, the government, law enforcement… are removed from subsequent database. Start over.

To include my 24 years as a military dependent. Erased. 14 year old Amazon account. Vanished without a trace it existed.

No one has helped, cared, or listened, to include the FBI.

In fact, I question reality at this point to whether or not I am indeed even truly “logged on Medium” and actually leaving this comment. There is no way to convey what it is like to be a woman cut off from all ways of modern communication by an unknown actor/actor(s), and have every avenue approached for help either completely ignorant or in total disbelief of what you are showing them your reality is, telling you what you show them “cannot be true”.

It is worse than loneliness, it is invisibility and denial of truth, like Groundhog Day of gaslighting. Every day.

For almost a full year now.

There is no white knight in real life, no one saves the day, and worse of all, this has altered my belief system which used to trust fully that one could get help, so where, somehow, in any situation if one was persistent enough and genuine.

That is simply not true. No one cares about what happens to anyone, as long as it isn’t happening to them, they just will fake it and hope you go away. If you don’t, they pretend you don’t exist, and after a while, you stop trying when you get it through your head they aren’t helping you.

If I were a man, would this be ongoing?
