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

There are so many cases like the most recent sexual abuser Larry Nassar that a google search will horrify you. Reminding us that predators go where the prey is.

Marcel Andre Henri Felix Petitot was a French serial killer who conducted his criminal activity during the first and second World Wars.

Michael Swango is a former medical doctor, former U.S. Marine recruit and a prolific serial killer with more than 60 deaths attributed to him. As with almost all the other doctors on our list, Dr. Swango’s career as a serial killer goes hand in hand with his clinical practice.

Herman Webster Mudgett (a.k.a. Dr. Henry Howard Holmes) was a graduate of Michigan Medical School and one of the first recorded American serial killers. But while most serial killers lurk in dark corners, Holmes went as far as opening a hotel which he had designed and built with murder in mind.

Harold Frederick Shipman was a British doctor, and one of the most prolific serial killers in recorded history. He is judged responsible for more than 250 deaths.

He's trying to get Olivia expelled from the Green Party now (she's a candidate).

He's a member of the Labour Party.

Green Party have told him that Olivia is "being investigated" - Olivia has had no contact from the Green Party as yet. They're speaking to a man from a different political party - yet haven't contacted their own party member yet.

Let's be clear - Olivia was an audience member who heckled a person taking part in a debate on Channel 4. That's all.

@thebewilderness, any chance you could post any links, or leads, about male doctors taking out their misogyny on women? I think it's an interesting subject, though obviously terrifying. Any books you'd recommend? I'd be massively grateful.

gendercritter · 09/05/2018 23:49

Ah see I knew Dr Christian had tweeted something like that and couldn't remember the exact tweet. Horrific.

DJLippy · 09/05/2018 23:44

he's not likeable, charming, or articulate.

People can see this. Let him dig his own grave.

SeaWitchly · 09/05/2018 23:43

He is right twat isn't he.

Treesybreezy · 09/05/2018 23:26

Thanks busyboysmum. At least I'm not going mad.

So probably thinks of women (subconsciously or not) as breeders rather than full human beings.

Both of them examples of why the medic students at my university were routinely sneered at by every other department.

reallybadidea · 09/05/2018 23:24

So when that 12 year old discloses to him, as her doctor, that she's being taken to Niger to marry an older man he's not going to impose any moral or cultural expectations on the situation then? He wouldn't see this as a safeguarding issue in contravention of government guidelines. Interesting.

MonsoonMama · 09/05/2018 23:14

Jeez, just looked him up on Twitter - and now I'm fucking terrified

AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth · 09/05/2018 23:10

Yes here it is Lang

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

Interestingly, the replies to his tweets are all negative. He doesn't seem to have many supporters? Unless I'm blocked from seeing them?

Some of the replies are quite funny. He is getting his arse handed to him nicely.

Yes it was.

Treesybreezy · 09/05/2018 23:00

Right

I'm almost positive that this is the weaselly twitter doctor who, in a meandering twitter thread about trans issues, started laying into a woman who said she hates the drudgery of being a mother and was looking forward to when her son was an adult.

Another doctor then joined in, basically making out that all 'proper' women felt nothing but unrestrained joy in all aspects of motherhood, that there was something wrong with this woman for feeling like she does.

I really thought this second doctor was Dr Jessen. I then made a comment stating that I was surprised to see the Madonna -whore dichotomy so plain in a gay man when he started advocating boys watch porn in schools. Someone on twitter said he wasn't.

I haven't been able to find any of the original tweets - was it Jessen who joined in?

SimonBridges · 09/05/2018 22:58

He seems to be also spending a lot of time telling any news service that will listen that the NHS is on its knees. I don’t deny that it is and I welcome him speaking out but surely the NHS is going to start getting pissy with him.

TheUterati · 09/05/2018 22:55

@Trump - sent you PM.

R0wantrees · 09/05/2018 22:54

He seems to be on good terms with Dr Helen Webberley.

Yes, you're a Dr as soon as you have your medical degree, but it takes many years after that to qualify as a GP or consultant.

SimonBridges · 09/05/2018 22:51

He seems to spend a fuck of a lot of time knocking about on Twitter. When does he work?

TrumpTrump · 09/05/2018 22:50

Is he allowed to call himself 'dr' if he hasn't qualified yet?

"Also on there earlier agreeing with the other charmer that opposing 12-year-old child brides is nothing more than postcolonial angst."

WTAF!!!!

God, Germaine Greer was right when she said "most women have no idea how much men hate them." How could anyone think there are any circumstances in which the legal rape of a 12 year old is okay?

My earlier epithet of shitstain on the face of humanity doesn't even come close.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 09/05/2018 22:47

I see he has also reported Olivia Palmer to the Green Party for transphobia in the Genderquake debate last night. He is an active Labour Party member, but they are jumping to attention to follow up his complaint. Meanwhile Aimee Challenor, the Green Party member who set up the terfblocker which apparently had 50,000 women's names on it, appears to have had no comeback at all from the party.

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 09/05/2018 22:47

If he is a trainee GP, why on earth is he wearing scrubs?

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 09/05/2018 22:46

Woman says she's had death threats for being outspoken. Man says "I hope you've learned your lesson." Man cannot see that this is horrendous behaviour. Man is complete shitstain.

May I also add to that excellent analysis: "'Man should be reported to the GDC for bringing the profession into disrepute as he appears to be tweeting in a professional capacity"
