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 😅

Just a warning that another well known visitor has attempted to match up “signed” names on threads to names on petitions and crowdfunders, previously.

Also never post from Instagram as your name briefly flashes up. Unless your insta name is a pseudonym .

What do you mean "signed" names on threads? Who's signing their name on threads?

Also, what do you mean by posting "from" instagram? From instagram to where? Or do you just mean posting ON instagram?

Confused - could do with some clarification bc this identifying of names is a bit worrying. Thx!

Now I can't get the aria from The Mikado out of my head.

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

Okay, so aidap comes across as an abhorrent human being, but do you think that the hysterical responses making up the majority of this thread are coming across well? Or are most of you channelling primary-school-“the teachers coming”-screamy-little-girl energy..?

..however, Im loving this “bill gates harvesting your dna” style explanation of aidap’s nefarious plot! 😂

The reference to “screamy-little-girl-energy” is extremely creepy. The women on MN are adults who write well and can get their point across.

This is AidaP.

Notice the warped attempt at humour in the similarity between Rowling as in JK and rolling as in “splintery rolling pin”.

This is an entirely sexually perverted sick fantasy.

I can't see anything about rolling or Rowling in that post, nor anything sexual?

Completely agree. I understand that there is genuine concern about protection of women’s spaces but I’ve seen so many posts suggesting that trans women are doing it as some kind of fetish or to get access to be able to harm other women - it’s cruel bullying and I can’t believe it’s allowed.

Some transwomen are fetishists and some are predators. This is simple fact.

ArabellaScott · Yesterday 08:18

Some transwomen seem to have a thing about splintery objects and penetration.

I think she means that often when there’s a thread about a petition, people will post on it to say they’ve signed it (petitions are only allowed on the Petitions and Activism board, they get moved there and are then not seen by many people unless they’re ‘bumped’ into active). So potentially someone could try to match when a name appears on a petition vs these posts. I opt out of showing my name on petitions

This is very worrying.

With AI he could be analysing comments and triangulating data and things people say about themselves, as well as styles of language.

Not beyond possibility that this could turn up identities IRL.

@mumsnettowers what are you doing about this possibility? Because if not this person then others may try.

I have lots of usernames and at least one exclusively for FWR, but still v concerning.

Advise others to compartmentalise their usernames.

This is a mentally ill man who clearly has serious issues with women. He should be ignored on the internet and get the medical help he needs offline.

I have no idea about any of this but I accidentally clicked a link from the OP thinking I was clicking on a photo to enlarge it. I'm now concerned about what I have clicked on and what might happen.

I don't think he's that clever.

MMGA · Yesterday 08:23

for example- XYZ has
2 kids
one is a male 20 year old
attended x event
works in y profession

Starts to narrow down possibilities and over many may posts could expose a person

But then surely they’re not trans women they are in fact predators and fetish
Blokes in fact

👏 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.

Its accepted towards women all the time, but clearly you can't see that, because we're not the right kind of 'woman'.

And how does one know the motivations of a men in the female toilets enough to decide to get out while you can or stay and take the risk?

Personally, I do not feel ashamed for hating violent men. One of the key things in being women is the ability to identify violent men. And if you think a violent man will spare you with his splintery rolling pin just because you think a man might have 'good' intentions when in female spaces then more fool you.

So when does a transwoman who is a predator and urged on by a fetish stop being a transwoman and becomes a bloke in a dress? I never understand how women are supposed to be able to mind read a male person's internal gender feelings

CompanyOfThieves · Yesterday 08:30

I think that many women are NOT happy about the idea of having men in their spaces. But they don't like to voice this opinion IRL as they'll be accused of being trans-phobic, or whatever label anyone wants to give them.

I have no issues with anyone being trans, but I think the legislation around trans issues needs to change. There are many areas where being male or female is irrelevant. But some issues arrive where women don't feel safe having someone with male genitalia around. And I don't think that's unreasonable or trans-phobic.

ArabellaScott · Yesterday 08:31

Threaten women, then ridicule them for being concerned. Call them 'hysterical' for objecting to being threatened, and mock their 'little girl energy'.

So. Much. Misogyny.

Have they got a cock?
If they’ve gone to the commitment of chopping their cock off, I’ll entertain listening to them
If you’ve still got it, you’re a bloke in a dress, usually one that fits badly
With big hands

Any male using women's spaces is knowingly and deliberately transgressing women's boundaries.

There are transwomen who do not claim to have changed sex and do not do use womens spaces.
