Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?

If you're not familiar with this supposed physician (yes, really), then you need to get over to Twitter and see this.

Harrop seems to spend most of his time harassing and insulting natal women whilst unquestionably supporting trans women. He is hiding behind his "medical expertise" and using it to shout women down.

It's both hilarious and terrifying! Shock

The spoof account is fantastic. I am in tears here

Both those spoof accounts are fantastic:

Just got back from my gynae appointment with the delectable Dr Atrium Bigstrop.

Apparently, being 20, I've left it a bit late compared to those lucky 12 year old gals in Niger.“

The spoof account is majestic Grin

As a great doctor intending to become a great GP I am passionate about women’s health. Ladies - get your prostate checked.

This account is also hilarious mobile.twitter.com/TingTongMilly

Gaslighting, pretending he didn't say/mean that and it's all the women's fault for misunderstanding the poor male.

The spoof account is probably upsetting him far more than any angry words from women.

"Men are afraid that women will laugh at them ..." and all that Smile

Soon it will all have been a misunderstanding caused by evil Feminazgûl women who do not know it is their responsibility to understand what he means and not what he says.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 20:54

He's just pulling a DARVO like any other transactivist would.

Treesybreezy · 12/05/2018 20:53

@SardineReturns he's pretending that he never condoned death threats. I don't exactly know how his tweet was supposed to read if that's the case, but he's definitely claiming he never would be such a bad puppy

SardineReturns · 12/05/2018 18:20

Has he expanded on or watered down his statement that women who say things he disagrees with should be threatened with death, at all?

Terfing · 12/05/2018 18:16

I wonder what Doctor's like this will do once the tide truly turns on the ethics of transing kids etc? Do you think he will change his tune, or keep giving out bad science? Confused

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2018 18:15

Thanks Anna, I didn’t know that.

"The last few days have shown me the very worst in people. Seemingly ordinary people holding such deeply poisonous and toxic views towards a vulnerable group trying to live out genuine, honest lives."

TBH Simon, I count it as a blessing to be blocked. I’m tired of seeing his sanctimonious, misogynistic ramblings on my timeline. Grin

SimonBridges · 12/05/2018 17:49

The funny thing I find about twitter is that if someone blocks you then you just sign out.

AnnaMagnani · 12/05/2018 17:02

He might have finished training and decided to locum before getting a permanent job. Everybody in GP world locums first. It's not odd at all, it's normal. It's a buyer's market - why settle down when you can take time to pick and choose.

Lot's of GPs never do anything else and stay as professional locums.

You can't criticise him on this score.

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2018 12:19

I’ve been blocked too.

I have “interacted” with him though so I was expecting it.

I just can’t believe he’s a Dr. It’s odd that he’s a locum, there’s a Dr shortage isn’t there? Why hasn’t he got a permanent job if he’s still training?

SardineReturns · 12/05/2018 11:46

It's really not on that he's in favour of women receiving death threats to "teach them a lesson".

I mean stepping back from this, with all sorts of stuff on the net, there's so much unpleasantness. But what he has said is really over the line. No-one deserves to get death threats, and he's not neutral, he's pleased, and hopeful that she will be so scared she will toe the line in future.

Oh, and the stuff about child brides is unfathomably vile as well (until you understand that people with opinions like this don't see women and girls really as people, and then it makes perfect sense).

Sorry mate, no 12 year old girl enjoys being raped, my apologies if this challenges your world view. I suppose you hadn't put yourself in her shoes though had you, just the shoes of the men who want to fuck young girls.

ProfessionalBarren · 12/05/2018 11:29

Ooh, I've been blocked too but I did (politely ish) call him out on his bullshit so not surprised.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 11:22

"It’s very challenging to continue when one’s strong desire to be an advocate comes into conflict with the need to, at least in part, protect one’s own interests."

Lol, Adrian, I'd say protecting your own interests has never been far from
your thoughts.

RogerAllamsFangirl · 12/05/2018 11:01

Sorry, in case not clear, that's a tweet from that thread linked to above.

RogerAllamsFangirl · 12/05/2018 11:00

TERFs are literally Nazis. Again.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 10:54

Oh lord read those sycophantic replies! Give the man that narcissistic supply!

wishiwassizeeight · 12/05/2018 10:52

I hope this vile man goes into a specialism where he treats only men. He should not be allowed near women.
