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.

Oh Adrian. Do you not have anything better to do at a time like this?

Do your worst, you silly, strange man. We will find other ways to meet and talk. We always have.

The madness of TRAs and Suzy Green and her vanity project Mermaids is out there now. People are waking up every day. That genie is not going to be stuffed back into the bottle now.

This is the sort of thing that really makes me question - again - the adage from MNHQ that FWR causes loss in advertising revenue. As Datun has mentioned on this thread and as I have posted previously, what sort of companies would give up the opportunity to advertise to millions of unique users just because of the Twitter tantrums of misogynists and screenshots that show women talking about reality? Harrop’s failed attempts to discredit us here show there isn’t transphobia and Arla Dairies have demonstrated they’re not going to be swayed, so who are these companies that have pulled out so much ad revenue? Which companies withdrew to the extent that it’s left MNHQ telling us FWR makes a loss?

I guess what I’m saying is I don’t believe MNHQ currently because it makes such little sense. And if the ad revenue did drop because of “perceived transphobia” doesn’t this failed little escapade of Harrop’s demonstrate there are plenty of companies willing to advertise on MNHQ regardless of false perceptions? That those who apparently did pull out made a big mistake in doing so, because the majority of people see things for what they really are, rather than how the weirdos on Twitter want to paint it as?

Yet MNHQ are adamant that companies pulled out because of what we discuss here. Someone (sensible) explain to me how that would be a good business decision for them.

imagine getting the wrong sort of dingly dangly bovine bits into a milking machine...

Great. Now I can't drink milk again.

MoleSmokes · 17/04/2020 02:12

Talking of screenshots . . . is the Labour Party still hell-bent on suspending people for a history of membership and support for other parties, eg. Green Party and Conservative Party?

Spot the Tory Media-Tart! Grin

hmm, imagine getting the wrong sort of dingly dangly bovine bits into a milking machine... one would not have time to notice that there was a spare milking cup before one has arrived at the pearly gates ready to meet ones maker with a cloven bruise on ones' head.

bovine sex matters...

I bet I can guess who as well

Yes. Save yourself the bother looking.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 17/04/2020 00:20

I do worry about people filled with such narcissistic rage. It does seem like an awful waste of time carrying on such a vendetta against women because you cannot get your own way and they won't do as they tell you.

I quite agree. It's setting yourself up for failure and self destructive anger.

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 16/04/2020 23:44

MrsFogi there are rational people he hasn’t blocked?!?! Grin

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 16/04/2020 23:43

Oh well played Arla - otoh just the idea that you could convince farmers that sex is a construct etc etc HmmConfusedHmm

Bulls are not cows
Tups are not ewes
Boars are not sows
Men are not women

Haddock is really an extremely troubled & troubling idiot.

HerFemaleness · 16/04/2020 23:38

I envy people who have never heard of Adrian Harrop.

MrsFogi · 16/04/2020 23:17

Anyone not blocked on Twitter by Dr Haddock please feel free to respond to him by posting a picture of a haddock Grin.

Has Joss ever written a coherent sentence?

Pertella · 16/04/2020 21:56

No surprises that he is being defended on the AIBU thread Hmm

BringbackLang · 16/04/2020 21:55

Can't be healthy to hold so much internalised hatred.

This is one of Harrop’s mates venting - birds of a feather

Misogynists like Harrop get really frustrated when women do not provide them with sufficient evidence to support their assertions so they create it themselves.
The term for this, coined by Nixon's campaign staff in the US, is ratfucking.

Do you know who Harold Shipman was?

truthisarevolutionaryact · 16/04/2020 20:35

It appears that Dr H has been a real motivation for mumsnetters to sign up for the premium service judging by the comments on this and the AIBU thread. There are numerous posts stating that they've just signed up in response to his comments.
Who's have thought it - he's actively put money into Mumsnet's coffers. He really is the gift that keeps on giving Grin

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 19:55

A trending thread at that. And one that has the word mumsnet in the title.

Passing journalists don't even have to go looking for it.

WrathofFaeKIopp · 16/04/2020 19:53

Not RTFT but Harrop has been mentioned in AIBU.

DrudgeJedd · 16/04/2020 19:52

That should have been "dobs him in"
