Posted his request about 5 minutes ago (or at least thats when I saw it) on twitter.

Im not even particularly anti trans, but when I see attempts to whip up mobs like that, I feel that hes making people anti trans.

Sort makes me want to resort to making insidious dog whistle anti trans rhetoric just to fuck with him.

Leaving his trans stance aside, going by the rest of his twitter offerings, hes definitely not the person I would want as a GP. Lacks decorum and gravitas.

Odd little chap; I've never seen a man so obviously loathe women.

It must eat him up, all day, every day. I certainly wouldn't allow him to fit my coil.

jiggery I remember a TRA on twitter once stating that even pets don't have a sex and you should refer to then using neutral pronouns so you don't misgender them as they can't state their gender preference. Someone else asked them how they should find out if their cat was likely to get pregnant, if male and female don't exist, and the TRA said "simple, just wait a bit and see if it gives birth or not". I was very new to the debate at the time and assumed that this was an extreme fringe outlier level of crazy that didn't reflect the mainstream TRA position. I miss those days of simple innocence.

He blocked me ages ago. Tell me though does he ever take on Kiwi Farms for the threads they run on him and his Golfing "lawyer" buddy? Or is it only MN he's fixated on?

Dad of trans call to arms....Because one section of the site does not agree with them they want to deprive women of what is for many their main source of support.

I mean they are linking to Fairplay for Women!

You've gotta love that utter lack of self-awareness.

To steal someone else's phrase, may God grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:44

Ugh mind. The lack of insight and self-awareness makes me want to take a shower.

LauraMipsum · 16/04/2020 13:43

They might want a chat with Flora about the wisdom of irritating a large cohort of women who do the household shopping to please those who don't.

He should've stuck to his undertaker job.

Systematic campaign to shut down MN. Now FWR isn't too everyone's taste but the desire to cut women off from a vital source of information for one section of the site is apoakung. I have seen women and men supported through serious illness, bereavement, domestic violence, crippling isolation the lot. This campaign originated with Dad of trans on Twitter. The aim is to Target every single income stream of mumsnet.

Just had a look at a couple of the articles being sent to Arla.

The biggest own goals in history.

Are they relying on mumsnet advertisers to not actually read anything. Because as soon as you read any of it, the claims go up in a puff of smoke.

I mean they are linking to Fairplay for Women!

Erm I can’t guess which cows are milked for milk 😎

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/04/2020 13:40

The 'financial ruin' of MN would only affect a small handful of women - is Adrian specifically targeting Justine et al? Or is he just that stupid?

I think he (and "Dadtrans" are trying to ensure that women have nowhere they can speak about these issues in a way that centres women. Because a certain type of misogynist would love that.

KaronAVyrus · 16/04/2020 13:40

What a tosser. He has destroyed his career because of his hatred of women. He needs help.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/04/2020 13:38

JiggeryWokery · 16/04/2020 13:38

I wonder how Arla dairies work out which cows to milk?

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 13:37

His stated objective is MN's 'financial ruin'.

Which is utterly ridiculous as none of the women here, who are the ones he seems to actually have a problem with, have anything to gain or lose financially from MN.

GlitterToast · 16/04/2020 13:37

Also: given the current global pandemic, shouldn't Harrop be, you know, actually working? Confused

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:37

"I want you to apologise for what you've said...I don't want you to feel safe".

Hey, mumsnet advertisers, take a look!

forsucksfake · 16/04/2020 13:36

A male doctor is stirring up hate against women during a global pandemic. How wonderful.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 16/04/2020 13:36

On a male-dominated website (which shall remain nameless), there's a very nasty thread on a certain doctor. Said thread is hundred times worse than anything that gets posted here. However, I have never even seen the good color even acknowledged this website.

Hmm I can take a rough guess at which site you mean...

PurpleCrowbarWhereIsLangCleg · 16/04/2020 13:35

He's an odd fish. His stated objective is MN's 'financial ruin'.

Women talking really does seem to upset him.

It's reassuring to know he's under investigation wrt his unbalanced & unprofessional online behaviour.

PronounssheRa · 16/04/2020 13:34

Christ I would have thought a doctor would have better things to do with his time while we are in the middle of a pandemic.

Anyway harrop at his threatening worst. I don't want you to feel safe

The person he is helping appears to be targeting as many of mumsnet advertisers as they can.

I'm not sure they quite understand advertising. You want to sell a product, and given mumsnet has over 12 million unique users per month, it's kind of a no brainer.

Very interesting that that particular advertiser is asking for examples. And the examples they are sending them are opinion pieces, not actual examples 🙄

People are wising up now, and this kind of targeted spite is backfiring.

TubereuseNordlys · 16/04/2020 13:33

It's not evidence of anything, anyway, is it?
I'm fairly sure lots of TRAs post anti-trans sentiments on here just so they can screenshot and pretend Mumsnet is a hotbed of transphobia.

It's nasty.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 16/04/2020 13:32

If transphobia is so widespread on the site then surely it'll be easy for him to get as many screenshots as he likes, right? No need to ask for help.

i expect he's rallying all the TRA trolls who posted specifically for screenshots before they were rightly deleted.

In some boggle eyed view, posting deliberately inflammatory and rule-breaking posts for the purpose of screenshots is considered "proof" of something they've made up.
