Dr Adrian Harrop's revenge porn bullying

Even by Harrop's standards this is particularly despicable.

A couple of TRAs engaged in a twitter discussion saying that Caroline Farrow looks like a man (because saying a transwoman looks like a man when they do is a hate crime but saying a woman does when they don't is banter). And this led to a conversation that there are compromising photos of Farrow.

Harrop then joined the discussion, implying that he has seen these photos and will send them to anyone who asks via direct message. This is in breach of revenge porn legislation and the ethics of being a doctor.

Farrow called the police last night over this harassment - but Harrop seems to have got worse and has tweeted that he's tracking her menstrual cycle

adds another reason not to hoover her bedroom to the list.
And my sheets are polycotton. Maybe it's like garlic and crosses against vampires.

Wait. So it's a crime to say someone looks like a man. Even if they do.

That can't be right.

I agree Doyoumind the cognitive dissonance is astounding. On the bright side plenty of people that are not commenting are observing it and forming their own opinions.

FGSJoanWhatsWrongWithYou · 13/01/2020 12:09

I do so hope the photo of Caroline is of something hilariously normal like her having sent a mate a photo of herself in a new frock in her bedroom asking if it shows too much boob (and it does show too much boob) or something and the porn-obsessed TRAs get all overexcited at the poor standard of the Caroline "porn".

Perhaps we're cynical and they'll be along any minute to agree with us Wink

Doyoumind · 13/01/2020 12:05

I can't find the tweet now, but when JP was laying into Caroline yesterday someone - perhaps JP or perhaps someone else - was insulting her by saying her DH was gay. I mean, how is that even an insult they can justify?

ScrimshawTheSecond · 13/01/2020 12:04

Yes, that's quite an odd thing, isn't it, tellme? Where are all the people who have been so upset lately because of 'hatred' on mumsnet regards comments on people's appearances, etc?

I presume they are away to tell off Harrop and Prior?

So glad I'm not likely to encounter him in his -notvery-professional capacity.

Shocked by the lack of power the GMC seem to have, any other profession his behaviour would be regarded as dodgy

tellmewhenthespaceshiplandscoz · 13/01/2020 12:02

This is such a disgusting double standard especially now Harry The Owl has his interview on YouTube (I'm still watching). These are tweets deliberately sent to cause distress which is the crux of why PC Twat called Harry. And this seems to be ok????!

I've also noticed the MNers who always pop up on other women threads to tell us off for being mean when we question the impact of the activities of some trans people on women and girls safety, never, EVER condemn or object to real, actual damaging behaviour like this. And it isn't because they don't see it because they pop along to lots of other FWR conversations to jolly well tell us off. Same old protect the feelz of the menz. Angry

DickKerrLadies · 13/01/2020 12:02

I'm sure PC Gul is just about to pick up the phone to check Harrop's thinking. Any minute now.

Apropos of nothing but I think it was Germaine Greer who pointed out that even the most pathetic and ugly of men somehow feels he has the right to openly criticise the way women look.

Oh God yeah they massively do
And to cat call and jeer. Oh to have the confidence of a big fat ugly man. They don’t give a shit

FGSJoanWhatsWrongWithYou · 13/01/2020 12:00

Typical. They think the worst insults for a woman are about how pretty she is, fidelity of her husbad and the state of her house. Ouch. Oh the pain. I am reminded of The Python's Spanish Inquisition.

ScrimshawTheSecond · 13/01/2020 11:58

why is there not serious police involvement and a restraining order

It is curious, isn't it?

HerFemaleness · 13/01/2020 11:55

Is Harrop able to access the medical records and data (address, phone number etc) of all UK patients? Or only those registered at his practice

You can't access patient records for your own interest. All access is monitored and if you don't have a reason to check a particular patients records then questions will be asked. HCPs have been sacked for access records inappropriately.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was physically possible although obviously not allowed. Hoping someone working for the NHS can clarify

Kantastic · 13/01/2020 11:47

I know it's not the most important thing here but I can't get over the sheer gall of Joss Prior to imply another human being is physically unattractive. Like, has Joss not seen Josself?

Okay what is the most important thing here - Harrop is talking about committing a crime. Sharing revenge porn is a crime in itself, it doesn't need to be part of a harassment campaign. Why the hell have the police not done something about him?

TheChampagneGalop How have I missed that thread before now?! Grin

I got so close to having an actual discussion with JP once on here before JP was banned for being a PBP and a self-identified troll.

Which is also behaviour that could be described as wankbadgery.

Can Caroline contact authorities? How does this behaviour not merit investigation?

TheChampagneGalop · 13/01/2020 11:11

If a doctor is happy to spread revenge porn on twitter, just imagine what else he is okay with leaking.

Doyoumind · 13/01/2020 11:05

Joss Prior had a day of bullying Caroline yesterday. They really are horrible people and Harrop shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Imagine him being your doctor.
