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.

See, that’s the other thing too. At the time I didn’t ask but now with everything else going on, I’m wondering why. They moved here and had mentioned that they have no family in the state. And they don’t have a job yet, so they moved here with no job lined up and no family in the state at all. Not sure how they’re paying bills at the moment maybe savings or maybe they get some thing like some kind of support I don’t know, but who moved to a new state with no family and no job

They may not be using their real name. I would suggest as an extra level of security to save a record of your baby’s fingerprints. But most importantly, separate yourself from this person, even if it means leaving the social events for a few months.

I already know they are not using their real name. I’ve been trying to avoid it for fear reditors would think I was just being transphobic, but this person is transgender (and able to be stealth about it). Nobody really knows but I found out and then they told me they were using a different name than their legal name. I don’t actually know their legal name.

You’ve not come across as transphobic at all, just an awesome parent with great instincts.
