Trans identified Mumsnet member AidaP is scraping Mumsnet

[BambooLampshade]

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 😅

The Mikado reference:

"I've Got a Little List" is a famous satirical aria from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Mikado (1885), sung by the character Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner of Titipu. The song lists various annoying societal types who "never would be missed" if they were eliminated.

He's a good example of the kind of trans activists who have been targeting women for decades at this point, especially in the last decade. Open your fucking eyes.

It is just NAMALT isn't it. And most of the people coming out with it wouldn't accept it in other circumstances. But they need to draw this protective ring around the super special men.

Hi all,

Thanks for raising this, we’re aware of it and understand why it’s caused concern.

Scraping the site in this way isn’t permitted under our Terms of Use, and we’ll be taking appropriate action. The user in question was banned from Mumsnet a few weeks ago for breaching our Talk guidelines.

In terms of what’s actually involved, anything that can be scraped from the boards is content that is already publicly available on the site. It doesn’t provide access to private account information, email addresses, PMs or anything else behind the scenes.

We use many tools to scan for people scraping the site and block them when we spot them - but it is impossible to stop everyone who wants to do it - scrapers are often set up to look like a user just browsing the site. However, our tech team are investigating this particular case and doing all they can to try and identify the scraper and block it.

But of course we do appreciate that the idea of posts being aggregated or analysed elsewhere can feel uncomfortable, even where the underlying content is public. If that’s a concern for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch with us directly and we can look at a retrospective username change.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please do get in touch and we’ll respond as fully as we can.

This thread is really interesting.

An abusive man, who had been deleted on MN for his targeted abuse, but who has also posted a very concerning reference to sexually assaulting women he considers bigots, has continued to show threatening behaviour.

Women have been targeted on MN by this man who has specifically referred to them as bigots prior to the post on the other social media platform.

He has now said he has scraped threads from MN to use to analyse for hate and transphobia. He has therefore effectively created a database to analyse however he wishes, including to track information that may lead to doxing posters.

Yet posters are being told this is nothing to worry about, that other organisations do this all the time so what is the issue. Despite the fact that this is a man we already know is abusive and doesn’t understand personal boundaries at all (has invited mn users to chat over coffee so he can convince them that he is respectful of women ) and is highly likely to misuse this data.

We have also had people post about how hateful MN is, just to remind people who disagree with them that they are hateful people saying hateful things. I can only imagine that they actually think this is a kind thing to do to a group of concerned women. And that the hateful women should take a lesson from them in being non-hateful.

All while an abusive man has announced he is now analysing in detail the data illegally lifted from this site, therefore continuing to act with threat and intimidation because people don’t agree that he is in any way a female person.

I have no sympathy tbh when large swathes of Mumsnet users continually harass and mock trans people they've found on other platforms, who are simply trying to exist.

Thank you for taking this seriously @BeckyAMumsnet

Do you understand that you are supporting an abuser? Your post is effectively like saying ‘you all deserved it’.

If you think posts are hateful, you should report them and have them deleted. Many people do. Posts that are transphobic are deleted.

Thank you, Becky.

That's a lot of words for "I support the actions of an abusive man"

They do exist. I have no problem with them existing.
What I object to is:
Men in women's toilets and changing rooms (firstly, many women have been raped or sexually assaulted and just do not want men in such spaces, and secondly, how do you tell who is 'true trans' and who is just a perv?);
Men in women's sports;
Men in women's prisons;
Men taking women's places in other areas;
Men claiming they know what it's like to be a woman when they haven't got a fucking clue and
Last but by no means least, the horrendous damage done to vulnerable children and young adults by 'gender medicine'.

We do mock men like India Willoughby, justifiably so.

HTH.

Personally, I just hold it in

Really? When you're menstruating. During menopausal surprises and flooding? If you were miscarrying? If you were leaking breast milk and needed a change of shirt?

Well done you.

Generally, one of the things that distinguishes women's needs re toilets is the diverse things our bodies need. We don't have the luxury men have, of just needing them to pee and wash our hands. That's for male bodies.

It is men who harass women. Women react to that. It doesn't make a difference whether the men identify as men, women or something else. Women largely react to how they're treated. No different in this context.

I am amazed and I would like to know their secret.

We’re all different, aren’t we Dean?

@BeckyAMumsnet thank you at least this poster is banned now I hope that mumsnet can now be more alert to this pattern of behaviour.

I’ve never harassed anyone on any other platform because I’m not on any.

can you please quote where I have mocked anyone? I really do not think I ever have, but I’m happy to be proven wrong. If so, I’ll apologise.

I’ve been mocked. I’ve been belittled. I’ve had trans women and their supporters laugh at my trauma, report my description of my rape and sexual assault as too upsetting for others to read, been told im playing trauma trumps, been told that my consent doesn’t matter, what matters was the man’s “internal cognition”. And more.

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.

You don't seem to understand the anti-women stance that these men have.
What a threat the TRAs are to women.

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?

@BeckyAMumsnet Have you reported the threats of rape which were linked here to the police? It's an explicit threat against a specific woman (so should be reported) but also all 'bigots', which he thinks women here are. The threat plus the scraping of our posts into a database is very threatening and stalker like.

There are certainly women who've been hauled in front of the police for saying men can't be women on social media. It would be nice to know perhaps they're 'having a word' about these rape threats and behaviour towards women on this site.

I'm sure MN reporting would carry greater weight than any individual other than JKR who is specifically named. Hopefully JKR's lawyers are also on the case.

I think you will find the discussions about 'and that's why we need our safe spaces’ are about the safeguarding principles that should be the basis of policy and law.

As other posters have pointed out, this is the same principle used to exclude all male people from female single sex provisions.

There is a difference between recognising male pattern behaviour which in addition to privacy and dignity forming safeguarding principles and then making unfounded negative generalisations that include every male person with a transgender identity.

If you believe someone has made an unfounded negative generalisation about every male person with a transgender identity, you should report that post.

If I explain why I need women’s single sex spaces, it’s reported and deleted because it’s too upsetting for other people to read.

so I can’t be specific. I have to be “bland”.

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

How do you suppose we tell the difference?

And with self ID and current thinking, if they say they are trans, they are trans. To question them, is 'transphobia'. Your 'no true scotsman fallacy' is literally 'transphobia'.
