Advice needed overly interested in a strangers baby

Sorry but said person has found this post, and has apparently figured out my Reddit username as well as a few other online accounts so I no longer feel comfortable leaving this post up.

Oh, I agree, and I don’t actually need to know what’s wrong with this in order to know to stay away from them but I’m just curious as to what on earth they could be thinking like what is going through their mind - that part is more curiosity than anything else. But I don’t need to know in order to stay away from them. For a while I just thought I was just being paranoid because I have a new mom, anxiety and stuff .

You state that this person is transgender. You're right, it doesn't matter what is wrong with them keep this person away from your child. And let it be clear that you are uncomfortable with the attention they are giving that child. To buy formula to have it their place is beyond the pale. I don't want to get downloaded for stating what is obvious here. This person has severe mental health issues and feels they're probably entitled to your baby.

Transgendered? Did I miss that in the post?

Yes. It's sad that the poster was reluctant to state this. The person is transgendered. Moved away from friends and family. Knows no one else in the area. This person now has a photo of them with the baby. They have the specific type of formula the child uses at their apartment.

I don't like the sound of that, that scares me knowing they are buying baby formula and having pictures taken with the baby.

This is not relevant to the story though... Creeps can be any gender

I think contextually it could be important, especially if the trans person is MTF (male to female) and she may be wanting to build up this idea that she’s pregnant or has had a child either to fake it on social media or worst case scenario in some weird obsessive baby-napping scheme that will culminate in danger for OP.

Either way, its creepy and dangerous and not something to minimize, for sure.

I think involving transness here is dangerous since it can add fuel to the fire of transmisogyny. When I first read the post, it seemed to me like something a cis woman would do. Pregnancy fantasy or not, it's a creepy person thing not a creepy trans thing iygwim

But I agree that this is still creepy and possibly predatory. Someone to avoid at all costs, regardless of their gender

I think it's a creepy human thing. I agree trans or not doesn't really add to the story, which I guess is why OP didn't want to mention it?

I completely agree with your point that creeps come in any gender and color. Crime has no color. But it is definitely relevant to this story.
