Vivienne Taylor
Vivienne Taylor, a violent male who identifies as a transgender woman, was convicted in November 2025 at Westminster Magistrates Court of stalking causing serious alarm or distress. Taylor, aged 28 and from Harrow was remanded back into into custody ahead of a sentencing hearing at Isleworth Crown Court on a date to be set.
Taylor embarked on an extended course of conduct over four years, stalking and threatening the female urological surgeon who performed his gender surgery at Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in 2021, starting with staff noticing a large number of pictures of the surgeon on Taylor’s phone. Taylor was then readmitted to the unit with suspected self-inflicted complications of the surgery and insisting on being treated by the same surgeon, saying he would kill himself if not (i.e. emotional blackmail and a hallmark of abusers everywhere). The hospital banned Taylor from seeing Ms Rashid, and the court heard he was later sectioned, meaning no criminal proceedings were brought in 2021. Taylor then started the harassment again in 2024 which escalated to direct threats, making at least six unwanted hospital visits for invented appointments, a bombardment of emails to Ms Rashid and, on November 2, an emailed threat saying would he would “batter [Ms Rashid] and shag her partner”.
Taylor has submitted almost one hundred Freedom of Information requests to various institutions, many of them seeking personal information about his victim Ms Rashid and other topics related to gender surgeries, such as why facial feminisation surgery isn’t provided on the NHS.
