could someone bring me up to speed? Last I saw he was merrily tweeting and being talked about here.

I usually ignore Harrop threads, as I don't feel it's worth the oxygen.

But today's posts here have really affected me.

I work in, and volunteer elsewhere in, areas which require me to be non-judgemental. Supportive.

I know that, even though we're non-judgemental in our actions towards others, lots of people doing these type of roles (including myself) will still have opinions, judgements, but will keep them to ourselves.

And I somehow naively parked that, and told myself that, whatever their beliefs, they'd treat all-comers without sparking up their own prejudices

But to see a purported Doctor endorse someone else saying another human (Caroline) deserved all the vitriol they would get.

Not for murdering someone. Not for raping someone. {Again, whilst these are all actions where most of us would naturally suspend our non-judgemental framework, and judge away, some roles need this not to be the case)

But for stating medical facts, honestly, with language that this Doctor would recognise.

And to then witness this so-called 'doctor' baiting, and snarking, and siding with people who deride the wishes of women who are asking for single-sex spaces in healthcare, prisons, refuges, changing rooms, life in general, and smearing as them as being somehow bigots.

I'm gobsmacked.
And disappointed in both Harrop and the system that is currrently protecting him.
And that not more people are calling him out on this.

Hmm certainly looks like ‘oops my bad’ and to channel father Jack ‘I’m soooo, sooooooooo soreeeeeeeee’

I reckon ihe meant to Retweet that disgusting Tweet, from one of his sock accounts.

Yes. Calling a woman a vile catholic cunt who deserves vitriol isn't something you ever do by mistake.

What a piece of work.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/03/2019 15:19

Just common or garden general hate

littlbrowndog · 25/03/2019 13:46

Is that surely religious hate ?

I do wonder what Morher Haddock thinks of all this.

hipsterfun · 25/03/2019 11:51

Clearly he has abandoned any hope of registration.

His family must be delighted to see him pissing away his prospects.

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 25/03/2019 11:15

You are just justifying why women do not want to be in close proximity with abusive men. You are doing the thing that you are saying never happens.

^ this, totally this

Carowiththegoodhair · 25/03/2019 11:13

GMC are not interested in what’s on MN. They are interested in whether or not Dr H is following the advice he has already been given by them.

This is a public debate. I accept that I now appear to be a public figure with all the accompanying criticism. The issue is whether or not a doctor ought to be unapologetically and openly engaging in online intimidation.

Clearly he has abandoned any hope of registration.

When you have to troll mumsnet to gauge whether to apologise to a woman for the abuse you have just retweeted about her, or directly written about her, because it might look bad for the prolonged abuse you are currently being investigated for...it's really time to hang up your hat.

Honestly.

You are just justifying why women do not want to be in close proximity with abusive men. You are doing the thing that you are saying never happens.

Doctor, lawyer, whatever. Leave women alone.

HorsewithnoBackstop · 25/03/2019 11:02

Perhaps it's a euphemism for handing white men's arses to them?

Datun · 25/03/2019 09:37

The daily mail mentioned Caroline Farrow cooking gammon.

God, they are like schoolchildren.

Katvonmythicbiowoman · 25/03/2019 09:22

I don't know whether it's harmful or useful to record all this.

He's just so 👀 though.

TheGoalIsToStayOutOfTheHole · 25/03/2019 09:19

Personally I think he fucked up. I don't think he's arguing that changing rooms should be separated by sex rather than gender. I think he's trying to say (badly) that if transwomen have to change in the men's, then transwomen would have to change in the women's, which means that men could pretend to be transmen to get into women's spaces, as opposed to men pretending to be women.

Looks to me like he is admitting a certain subset of men will do anything to access womens spaces, that the lies are really nothing and regardless of what women try to do,m these men will persist.

Katvonmythicbiowoman · 25/03/2019 09:19

Aww it's all part of the lovely lovely rainbow heart non toxic debate.

Call a woman a Catholic cunt.

Double down in your "apology" (parodying caros tweet)

Woosh. He really hates her. 👀👀👀👀👀

The utter beauty of Haddock sharing a certificate on his twitter he received ostensibly from Slimming World or some such declaring him 'greatest loser 2019' Grin Grin

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 25/03/2019 09:12

I have no doubt that posting here, highlight things so they can be deleted and constant 'updates' are going to do more damage to the GMC investegation than good.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 25/03/2019 09:11

That’s quite stalkerish

CaptainKirksSpookyghost · 25/03/2019 09:10

What does Hayden mean by saying I'd be very interested to learn what you were eating?

The daily mail mentioned Caroline Farrow cooking gammon.

It would be far better to leave him to it rather than constantly highlighting things here.

nauticant · 25/03/2019 08:59

What a complete and utter weasel:

JessicaWakefieldSVH · 25/03/2019 08:52

That is vulgar, misogynistic harassment. Why aren’t they all being questioned by police?

LizzieSiddal · 25/03/2019 08:42

Another one for the GMC.

Keep them coming Adrian.
