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

He's gay though I thought

Datun · 24/06/2018 10:39

Ugh.

Do you think you knows? Do you think he realises that every time he speaks, women everywhere involuntarily cross their legs.

SunsetBeetch · 24/06/2018 10:34

Here he is cheering on the doxxing of another woman.

Ew

I understand that Dr Harrop and Dr Webberley are good friends. Perhaps private practice beckons?

He's a narcissist who doesn't have the self awareness to be a doctor. Thankfully it sounds like he doesn't want to work in the NHS anyway which is good as it keeps him out of the way of ordinary folk with real illnesses.
Media doctors are a strange breed, some seem sensible docs who are good at speaking calmly, others are attention seeking mavericks who enjoy the power and meeting "celebrities".
I don't know why he's picked on trans issues as his "thing" but there seems to be a lot of money and influence there.
I think he's too good at pissing people off to get where he wants to go though. The media don't like their spokespeople and celebrity docs to be too controversial. A bit yes, a lot no.

I compared him to KH for the simple reason he uses the same MO.

Spout some controversial shite to get clicks/publicity. Nothing more nothing less.

trumptrump · 17/06/2018 23:54

I can't believe someone compared him to Katie Hopkins! At least Katie can laugh at herself, and she does at least attempt a debate!

(Not defending KH, but I'd pick her over Dr Adrain)

*Lastgirl^ as long as we sing it in the style we know it needs to be, it works. Good poetry! :-)

There was a young man called Adrian Harrop
One of his patients had a right stroo'oh' op
She said she wanted a female clinician
with their bits intact, 'aahhaact'

Adrian Harrop said she was a transphobe
She said she just wanted someone without a penis...oh
He told her 'get out of this clinic, oh'
'you're just a classic transpho..oooohhbe'.

She left the clinic feeling sad
She didn't understand what made him mad
She just wanted safety as she'd known it
He told her she had to accept a 'boner' don't you know it.

(Ade- you gotta sing it in the spirit it's been written in, otherwise you'll be able to post it as 'this doesn't make sense'!)

PIP assessor is one of those "too good to be true" facts. I'll wait till it's confirmed before I believe it.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 17/06/2018 20:32

Sorry for the lame attempt - I'm not a poet!!😂

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 17/06/2018 20:29

😂 Love it, Pombear!

Poor old Adrain Harriop
His dad asked his mum will he have the op?
She said no
And the dad said hi ho
Looks like he will forever be fucked up!

BoreOfWhabylon · 17/06/2018 20:19

According to the GMC he's in a GP training scheme. It lists the deanery concerned and the responsible officer.

I don't think there is anything to stop him also working as a PIP assessor though.

pombear · 17/06/2018 20:11

There was a young man called Adrian Harrop
He wanted to be the ultimate chariot
To drive trans right through the safeguarding barrier
Good old man called Adrian Harrop

There was a young may called Adrian Harrop
He wanted to dissolve women's rights. yeah-i-op
He wrote a tweet telling us we were crappy-op
Good old man called Adrian Harr0p.

There was a young may called Adrian Harrop
he wanted on Sky/Good Morning/Piers or wot
We all waved back at him and said you're a twattiop
Poor old Adrian Harr-op.

{NB: expecting Adrian to respond to highlight wrong rhymes!} Kisses to you Ade x

To be an assessor of how disabled people are, and to use the word cretinous. No words.

Kyanite · 17/06/2018 20:04

PIP assessor...ideal job for a narcissist. Please God help people applying for benefits!

FloralBunting · 17/06/2018 19:55

A PIP assessor? As if my estimation of the individual could get any higher!

Sarahconnor1 · 17/06/2018 19:48

last time I heard, he worked as a PIP assessor

Such a worthy occupation for a labour/conservative/greens supporter.

Pratchet · 17/06/2018 19:35

Actually it's even worse - last time I heard, he worked as a PIP assessor Shock

Pratchet · 17/06/2018 19:34

Somebody looked into this. I'm not sure he does.

Sarahconnor1 · 17/06/2018 19:30

If I had tweeted some of the stuff harrop has I would have been sacked in a heartbeat.

Which makes we wonder if he is actually working for the NHS. One trust categorically denied he worked for them anymore when some of his tweets were shown to them

Kyanite · 17/06/2018 19:11

Looking for a vomit emoji but can't find one...

Bowlofbabelfish · 17/06/2018 19:10

The problem is if you’re tweeting as a doctor you can't use language like that (well apparently you can if it’s directed at women, ho hum.)

I keep work and social media totally separate - but if I said something like that publically on a work account I’d expect to get pulled up very sharply on it. A lot of our work is patient facing, the rest is company facing and that is unacceptable language to use.

If you’re tweeting as a professional you need to keep your language and demeanour professional too. Private, anonymous non linked accounts are somewhat different - I’d say as long as you’re not linkable to work then you can say what you want...but you can’t mix. You can’t have the air of respectability the NHS gives you and act like that on twitter.

Except of course you can, because it’s directed towards women. It’s an unpleasant and disturbing feed - I would not want this person treating me, my children or any member of my family.
