Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

According to the secretariat, emails threatening the life of Yoshida, a member of the Japanese Communist Party, were sent at roughly one-minute intervals between 8:00 p.m. on Friday and 3:50 p.m. on Monday. All were sent from the same email address.

One huge creep?

That level of dedication should be a huge red flag and get her assigned heightened security. Even just creating a script to send an email every minute is a level of fixation that can quickly escalate.

I 100% agree, it's fixated and the person is putting time and energy into harassing her. It also shows they have IT skills which they can use for other things.

It's most likely automated

I know, and said as much in my original comment. Still for a politician to get such an influx is more than just harassment.

Good lord, same email address? I'd somehow missed that part. Who does that?

Unhinged people do this. They aren’t rational, so you’ll never be able to make it make sense

Seems like it. Definitely a person who should invest their time into something less harmful. Who gets this enraged over menstrual products being more available?
