Trans identified Mumsnet member AidaP is scraping Mumsnet

Hi Mumsnet, though you should know that a trans identified man - who often posts on Mumsnet as @aidap - is scraping the feminimism board, in order to create some sort of grading system.

It's basically electronic stalking.

What is this?

Oh yes, I have downloaded most of mumsnet and we will be doing embeddings of the content to try to understand how does the rot and hate builds and spreads.

I never had so much hate and delusion on my hard drive before 😅

Yet more, it's so sinister:

First go at the labeler, something that will consume many hours of my life, but we need a proper golden set of data to then grade the entire mumsnet worth with

Getting my snark out on bsky to stay fair during the process, wild that I got more scientific integrity here than transphobes altogether 😅

Christ, how much more attention do people want to give this person?

They must be absolutely loving it.

I think it is useful for other Mumsnet users, who may not frequent the Feminism board, to see what is being done.

You’re playing right into their bored, attention seeking little hands.

Theeyeballsinthesky · 28/04/2026 21:42

i believe aida has suggestions of what should be done to women with a splintery rolling pin

They? He’s a bloke. And a bloke who wanted to fuck ‘bigots’ which included JK Rowling with a splintery rolling pin.

Mumsnet should be made aware of this, so thanks OP. I look forward to MNHQs view on this.

His large man hands. Oh well.

LassoOfTruth · 28/04/2026 21:47

Wow he really has a lot of spare time on his hands. I do hope Mumsnet HQ looks into this. It’s becoming hard to have any thread on the feminism boards NOT derailed by this user and he’s very rude too.

LovesLabradors · 28/04/2026 21:51

Always good to put a face to the name!

Clearly demonstrating exactly why we don't want men in women's spaces.

I hope MN can do something about this - at least ban him.

Helleofabore · 28/04/2026 22:02

Some men really hate being told ‘no’.

Hedgehogforshort · 28/04/2026 22:12

Glad this has been referred

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 well said. It’s not accepted anywhere else and would be called out immediately if directed at any other group in society.

I don’t condone the behaviour of the user being reported here but I can’t understand how Mumsnet allows such hate on a mainstream site.

WinterBlues26 · 28/04/2026 22:24

If only certain men would stay out of women's legally protected spaces...

I wonder why they won't 🤔

popery · 28/04/2026 22:25

At a guess I would posit that people that post and declare they won't read the responses would indeed have difficulty understanding what others think and why.

It's not a hard one to figure out, really.

Hedgehogforshort · 28/04/2026 22:36

Golly Aida’s mates showed up here rather too quickly 😂

Mumsnet, that well known legally protected space…

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 28/04/2026 22:41

Disagreement and debate are not hate. Hope this helps.

You do realise MN is for everyone, right? Including those without children?

I don’t get what he’s doing? What is digital scraping?

Mysterian · 28/04/2026 22:52

What I don't understand is that stuff about computers.

Batties · 28/04/2026 22:53

Some men, and the odd poster on this thread, really can’t cope with women defending ourselves.

I think he’s making a list, and checking it twice.

Iatethelastbiscuit · 28/04/2026 22:50

He's using a computer programme and downloading all the posts in all threads on the FWR board and getting a computer programme to do god knows what with the data in order to find out who knows what.

Meanwhile the gerbils who came into existence during the last data scrape are practising their new cheer.
