Fans of the new 攻撃する，衝突する Netflix series Baby Reindeer have 推測するd that the real-life Martha Scott might 現実に have been a man.

The six-part series, created by Richard Gadd and based on his own experience of stalking and horrific 性の 強襲，強姦, shows his stalking ordeal 広げる as the character of Martha (Jessica Gunning) becomes ますます obsessed with him.

Now, after watching the 批判的に acclaimed series 始める，決める in a Camden pub, some fans have been sent into a frenzy as they try to 跡をつける 負かす／撃墜する Richard Gadd's real-life stalker.

Several fan theories have arisen off the 支援する of the show and its depiction of Martha - but one particular 分析?has taken a different approach.

Richard Gadd has always 強調する／ストレスd that his stalker was also a 犠牲者, and someone in serious need of mental health support, which they never received.

Fans of Netflix series Baby Reindeer have come up with a new theory about Martha's true 身元 (played by Jessica Gunning in the show)

As he first wrote a one-man theatre show and later, the Netflix series about his ordeal, he 以前 明らかにする／漏らすd in an interview with GQ:?'We've gone to such 広大な／多数の／重要な lengths to disguise her to the point that I don't think she would recognise herself.'

Taking on board Gadd's description, a 地位，任命する online 推測するd that the character had been changed so much, she in fact is not 'she' at all.

The poster wrote: 'You can disguise and cover up a character from a story such that they won't be recognised by the public around that person; but to confidently say that the character has been disguised to such an extent that the person in question won't be able to recognise themselves in the show which features the actual 犠牲者 playing himself tells me that 'Martha Scott' was 意味ありげに changed for the show.

Richard Gadd has 以前 明らかにする／漏らすd Martha's 身元 was changed for the show and her character was also altered so she was 'unrecognisable'

'And by that I mean I think the real life Martha Scott was most likely a man. That also fits やめる neatly into his whole 地位，任命する 強姦 性の orientation 混乱 and self 発見 trajectory.'

答える／応じるing to the theory, one person said: 'You just opened another dimension in my 長，率いる'?

Another said: 'Ooooh 利益／興味ing theory!!! I think you are 権利!'

Other people were いっそう少なく sure about the theory, 示唆するing that Martha's discussions of her menstrual cycle in the show, which she does ーするために 強調する／ストレス she's fertile and can carry children, 示唆するs she is also a woman in real life.

As some fans continue to 推測する over the 身元 of the real-life Martha, others have argued the search goes against the spirit of the show.

令状ing on social マスコミ, one person said: 'Gadd 過程d his 外傷／ショック in his way, purposely graced her with anonymity, it's 不公平な to take that away from him. And this could 誘発する／引き起こす Martha.'

Another argued: 'Those people who 設立する the real Martha from Baby Reindeer are strange and 欠如（する） 境界s because Richard didn’t want anyone to be 設立する?'

One person said: 'Really not liking people 株ing the personal 詳細（に述べる）s of an 明白に really unwell woman.'??

Some people believe they have 跡をつけるd 負かす／撃墜する the real Martha online, however Gadd has never 確認するd her true 身元 and has asked fans to stop looking for her.?

Richard Gadd's real-life stalker (played by Jessica Gunning in the show) first （機の）カム into his life in 2015
