I was going to post this on the transphobic genitals post, but think it deserves its own bit of sunlight.

Also immensely heartening to see Dr Harrop thinking carefully"

Not that carefully. He still hates XX women and will do anything he can to put them back in their place - as his palpable glee in nominating Caster Semenya (XY) for Sportswoman of the year; and encouraging all his Twitter mates to follow suit, shows.

I saw his tweet and thought about nominating Martina for a lifetime achievement award. Will definitely now along with Dina Asher Smith for Sportswomen

Just took a quick look at his twitter. I see he now describes himself as Dr and GP

So much for the GMC investigation. Hmm

But more interesting still ... is this true? He has accepted an invitation to speak at WPUK or is he trying to be humorous?

That's just blatant and open mysoginy, now that it's been clearly established that Semenya is male.

I guess he does not follow sport much. As Arnold says, it will be Dina (and deservedly).

Sorry, should have added a link to the nomination website too!

I have added mine. Also a suggested edit to the great video of female athletes, fan and winners as per attached pic.

Be fun if people were to nominate Lewis Hamilton, Harry Kane and Roger Federer as Sportswomen of the Year.

He didn’t nominate the cyclist? Won’t they be hurty feelings over that (they very worst type of hurt- it kills you know).

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/10/2019 07:40

People don’t see nor seek out the facts. Biological facts that is.

AncientLights · 03/10/2019 07:39

Sad to see so many women supporting Harrop in this. I reckon he's trying to regain some kudos after disagreeing with The Cyclepath McKinnon about sexuality & sexual attraction being transphobic.

Hahahahaha

Dina Asher=Smith has it in the bag. Bog off Harrop.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 03/10/2019 07:34

I wonder if the nomination committee know of a twitter push from certain folx? Like boaty mc boat face...

SlipperyLizard · 03/10/2019 07:31

Made me go and nominate Dina Asher-Smith when I read that, and that was before her gold in the 200m! I suggest others do similar.
