Trans identified Mumsnet member AidaP is scraping Mumsnet

But at least two of the participants who were mocked for being trans turned out to be female.

You and I would agree on men in women's sports. Again that doesn't excuse targeting women who don't look feminine enough. There was a specific thread aimed at a (very good) club runner, who found the thread and ended up having to post further pictures to prove she was a woman.

You know the threads I'm talking about (and I know you know).

I have no idea what threads you're talking about, never read them, and am not aware of having seen them in the FWR list.

From the look of OP's posts, AidaP is a mentally unwell Mumsnet user who is doing something weird with other people's posts and should almost certainly be banned.
Nothing particularly controversial there.
But to extrapolate AidaP's behaviour to the wider trans community is bigoted and nonsensical hysteria. AidaP does not represent trans people as a whole and their behaviour cannot be used to support arguments about trans matters.
Therefore bland statements such as 'and that's why we need our safe spaces' are meaningless in this context.
It would be lovely if any debate about trans people were reasoned and fair. This post is just another opportunity for people to spew hate.

This site is full of hate for trans people. I've not seen the level of hate I see here anywhere else. The amount of comments I've seen saying that trans people are doing it as some sort of sexual fetish or as a way to perv on and abuse women is disgusting. That kind of stereotyping of any other minority group would be quickly shut down.
I won't be replying to any comments. I've learned from experience that any support for the trans community on the site leads to a pile on from people who are not interested in actual debate, they are too fixed in their views. Some with concerns they feel strongly about due to fear enticed by others. Some who are nothing but nasty bullies who have found a place where they can put down a whole community and not only get away with it, but be supported with it.

So it was the trans people who made you mock those women?

Wasn't it nice when we could trust people to tell the truth about things that matter for safeguarding or relationships?

Ah, the olden days.

These weren't men though, by and large. They turned out to be women. There was one poor women who found the thread on which she was being slaughtered for her appearance, and had to post her wedding photos to prove she was not trans.

At least two of the supposedly 'trans' people on Blind Dates actually turned out to be women.

But you're fine with that.

Really? Not the Christmas song about Santa and his list?

It does matter as to whether they have been allowed to stand or not.

It matters also because the moderation on this site is professional and they use a standard that reflects what is considered reasonable by society. They do not moderate according to one individual’s standards of what they consider hateful or not.

While you consider something to be hateful, that is your personal standard and it may or may not be considered hate by others.

If it is important for the discussion about full consent for the purposes of dating someone with the hope of forming a relationship, then it is reasonable to have that discussion. If someone has not been told that their blind date on a publicly aired TV show is not the sex they have been led to believe, that is a concern and it is a safeguarding issue.

If you are referring to sports discussions and discussions about male athletes who compete in female categories, that is not obviously not discussing ‘masculine’ female athletes, that is a legitimate discussion about male athletes with male body cues.

I’ll give you all the gift that keeps on giving.

genitourinary syndrome of menopause. Aka. 2 seconds notice that you need to pee RIGHT NOW or you wet yourself.

It is just great.

I haven't seen those at all but I'm guessing they got deleted pretty swiftly (as they should).

Did you know that certain people (males) deliberately post inflammatory threads and get "friends" to comment just to screenshot it and post elsewhere so they can say how awful and bigoted the women of MN are? It is a thing.

To be fair, there was a fairly horrific thread the other week where posters went through 'Blind Dates' on the Guardian for participants who 'looked trans', and then mocked their appearance etc.

There have been other threads in a similar vein where private individuals have been picked on for their appearance, and declared 'trans' and insulted, for looking too masculine.

It doesn't matter if these threads are ultimately deleted, as the comments are still been made, regulars happily join in, and plenty of people read them.

Nothing excuses the fucking horrible rolling pin comment. But I can see how some people think this place has abandoned the moral high ground.

I wondered the same ... change of username and the device he was posting from perhaps?

Oh thank God. Or maybe not. Is this a thing? I’m waiting to see someone about it as it’s making life hard! I don’t know whether to be relieved I’m normal or annoyed, as generally ’normal’ means ‘go away and put up with it’.

We are not saying that all transwomen are fetishists or have 'Autogynephilia', that would be wrong and a lie. But sadly many do, and by their own admission to. Maybe you should actually consider there is truth in the matter. The WiSpa male, who entered a female only space, naked with a 'half mast'? Later found to be on the sex offenders list. The male Dr who calls himself a female and took notes of the women who would not get undressed in front of him. Yes, you read correctly. At tribunal, he admitted he took names and notes and times of when women would not get undressed in the womens in front of him. His main anger was not that they left the changing room when he was in there, but that they refused to get undressed in front of him.
And these males below? And then this male caught out masturbating in a cubicle in the womens toilets and the video shows him being confronted? I could go on and on.

Has it ever occurred to you that we know what males are like, and to believe women instead of trying to shame us and silence us for telling the truth about this? We need another #MeToo instead of women calling other women 'hysterical', 'liars' and accusing us of 'cruel bullying'. It's 2026, and we STILL have fellow women doubting the experiences and testimony of their fellow sisterhood and calling us 'cruel bullies' for calling out (some) fetishes. Has it ever occurred to you to just believe us? To believe women? To give us the benefit of the doubt? Even just once?

How did he post if he was banned a few weeks ago?

Men are scared that women will laugh at them...
