Dr Adrian Harrop, who the funk does he think he is?

If you're not familiar with this supposed physician (yes, really), then you need to get over to Twitter and see this.

Harrop seems to spend most of his time harassing and insulting natal women whilst unquestionably supporting trans women. He is hiding behind his "medical expertise" and using it to shout women down.

It's both hilarious and terrifying! Shock

Dr Harrop has blocked me. 😂

Congratulations!Star

BlooperReel · 12/05/2018 08:04

@thebewilderness i dont think i have ever actually interacted wiith the plonker

thebewilderness · 12/05/2018 08:07

I do not think that is necessary.
It is like the seven degrees of separation from Bacon.
You liked something or someone they don't like liked what you liked.
I am blocked by a number of people on twitter that I had never heard of before someone mentioned them here.
I suspect there is a list.

BlooperReel · 12/05/2018 08:33

I strongly suspect it was liking Nimko's tweets handing him his arse.

PerspicaciaTick · 12/05/2018 08:41

I've been blocked too! No idea why as Ive never interacted with him and I don't post on twitter. It must be on the basis of the company I keep.

R0wantrees · 12/05/2018 09:40

There are a number of mass (terf) blockers. I think saw somewhere that an option on one of them would block anyone who followed a designated number of accounts which were already on the (terf) block list.

Has anyone linked this masterpiece yet?

He blocked me too. My account is on private. I hadn’t tweeted him, merely liked a tweet questioning whether he’s in the right profession. Seems he doesn’t like the fact that these uppity women don’t agree with him. Hmm

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 10:23

More likely he's trying to minimise the damage he's done by making it harder to see his tweets. Or he thinks it's clever and funny to block people. I'm sure he realises that blocking someone can't stop them reading your tweets and it's very easy to do so. Either with another account or logged out.

BoreOfWhabylon · 12/05/2018 10:39

I've also been blocked by him and I'm only just learning how to Twitter so haven't made any tweets, just liked and retweeted some gender-critical stuff.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 10:48

I expect he's using a snowflake block list for those who don't like to be exposed to the opinions of people they disagree with.

wishiwassizeeight · 12/05/2018 10:51

He’s going to stop tweeting about it because he feels so bullied!!
Classic DARVO.
Please don’t stop Adrian, every time you tweet 10 more women hit peak trans.

I hope this vile man goes into a specialism where he treats only men. He should not be allowed near women.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 10:54

Oh lord read those sycophantic replies! Give the man that narcissistic supply!

RogerAllamsFangirl · 12/05/2018 11:00

TERFs are literally Nazis. Again.

RogerAllamsFangirl · 12/05/2018 11:01

Sorry, in case not clear, that's a tweet from that thread linked to above.

Ereshkigal · 12/05/2018 11:22

"It’s very challenging to continue when one’s strong desire to be an advocate comes into conflict with the need to, at least in part, protect one’s own interests."

Lol, Adrian, I'd say protecting your own interests has never been far from
your thoughts.

ProfessionalBarren · 12/05/2018 11:29

Ooh, I've been blocked too but I did (politely ish) call him out on his bullshit so not surprised.

SardineReturns · 12/05/2018 11:46

It's really not on that he's in favour of women receiving death threats to "teach them a lesson".

I mean stepping back from this, with all sorts of stuff on the net, there's so much unpleasantness. But what he has said is really over the line. No-one deserves to get death threats, and he's not neutral, he's pleased, and hopeful that she will be so scared she will toe the line in future.

Oh, and the stuff about child brides is unfathomably vile as well (until you understand that people with opinions like this don't see women and girls really as people, and then it makes perfect sense).

Sorry mate, no 12 year old girl enjoys being raped, my apologies if this challenges your world view. I suppose you hadn't put yourself in her shoes though had you, just the shoes of the men who want to fuck young girls.

LizzieSiddal · 12/05/2018 12:19

I’ve been blocked too.

I have “interacted” with him though so I was expecting it.

I just can’t believe he’s a Dr. It’s odd that he’s a locum, there’s a Dr shortage isn’t there? Why hasn’t he got a permanent job if he’s still training?

AnnaMagnani · 12/05/2018 17:02

He might have finished training and decided to locum before getting a permanent job. Everybody in GP world locums first. It's not odd at all, it's normal. It's a buyer's market - why settle down when you can take time to pick and choose.

Lot's of GPs never do anything else and stay as professional locums.

You can't criticise him on this score.

SimonBridges · 12/05/2018 17:49

The funny thing I find about twitter is that if someone blocks you then you just sign out.

AngstySpanksey · 12/05/2018 17:56

TBH Simon, I count it as a blessing to be blocked. I’m tired of seeing his sanctimonious, misogynistic ramblings on my timeline. Grin
