Glad he’s got his priorities right in the middle of a pandemic. He’s really, really want to see mumsnet closed down and has a fair following - even been on telly

Eh?

ChewChewIsMySpiritAnimal · 16/04/2020 16:01

So? who cares what he thinks?

AnyFucker · 16/04/2020 16:02

"In line with my objectives" Smile

He's from the Donald Trump School of Altered Reality

Teabaseddiet · 16/04/2020 16:02

He's such a twat.

PickAChew · 16/04/2020 16:02

Looks sarcastic, to me. What's the context?

Floatyboat · 16/04/2020 16:03

He seems like a weirdo but just because it's a pandemic people can still have their own interests, however obscure.

Actually I can imagine quite a few doctors get peed off with patients quoting advice they have got off Mumsnet

milksoffagain · 16/04/2020 16:03

what is it you're asking? He obviously hates mumsnet...

safariboot · 16/04/2020 16:05

The fact is Mumsnet is viewed as transphobic. You can claim until you're blue in the face that it's not, it's still viewed that way.

Madvixen · 16/04/2020 16:05

Harrop is a GP who believes that Mumsnet is a hotbed of homophobia and transphobia and regularly encourages his followers to pile onto the accounts of companies who advertise with Mumsnet in an attempt to get them to withdraw their sponsorship.

BirthdayCakes · 16/04/2020 16:05

He's a twat - ignore.

Clevererthanyou · 16/04/2020 16:06

Oh dear. Can you imagine having such a sad life void of meaningful activity that requires you to have Machiavellian goals of shutting down a website for Mums sharing ideas for little Peter’s birthday party invites 😂 is he deathly afraid of coffee mornings or something?

Lollygaggles · 16/04/2020 16:06

He despises women and places where said women come to discuss and organise.

LaurieMarlow · 16/04/2020 16:06

Looks like it’s the trans thing. Strong opinions on both sides.

Soubriquet · 16/04/2020 16:06

No he just hates women

AnyFucker · 16/04/2020 16:07

Is he a GP now ?

vinoelle · 16/04/2020 16:08

Just to be clear this is a trans thing rather than a doctor thing.

PickAChew · 16/04/2020 16:08

OK, definitely not sarcastic then. Just a twat.

GertrudeCB · 16/04/2020 16:08

He despises women. Sad git.

Ikeasucks · 16/04/2020 16:10

It’s the doctor who complained and got an advertising company to take down a billboard with the dictionary definition of “woman”

Watertorture · 16/04/2020 16:12

Is he actually qualified as a doctor? Shock

The fact is Mumsnet is viewed as transphobic. You can claim until you're blue in the face that it's not, it's still viewed that way.

The fact is Mumsnet give women a voice. You can claim until you’re blue in the face that it’s transphobic, but really, the TRAs don’t like us centring women.

Ikeasucks · 16/04/2020 16:14

Oh, he’s stepping up his campaign

What kind of a doctor is he, and what is his issue with Munsnet?

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 16/04/2020 16:21

@PickAChew
Looks sarcastic, to me. What's the context?

He campaigns for the rights of trans people.
MN has a reputation for it's transphobic content.
NOT saying all MN is transphobic as it's not, but there's definitely some (as any quick look on the many, many trans threads show)
This looks like one screenshot taken out of context to whip up froth on AIBU (already a thread on feminism board running, must have thought to replicate out here too)
From what i can gather a company have asked for examples of transphobia when they were made aware of the problem, so he did a RT asking people if they had any.
Hope that's clearer with a bit more context?
This screenshot looks like he was replying to people getting sniffy in his replies.

No, I can't be arsed to get into the inevitable faux innicent "what does transphobic" mean? argument

No, I'm not getting drawn into but but but what is a woman? merryground as what with lockdown can't be arsed lol, saving thoughts for mentally positive things Grin
