Is the OED now hate speech?

Interesting to note some of the sources of the complaints: twitter.com/Direct_PS/status/1044263398333132800

where is the twitter survey please?

and could i have a reminder of how to find the GRA consultation for a friend.

olderthanyouthink · 26/09/2018 07:08

Alright I'm still finding my feet in this but just fucking what? HumanFemales is banned from Twitter?!

SunsetBeetch · 26/09/2018 07:10

How ironic of Harrop to mention freedom of speech when he is constantly trying to shut gender critical discourse down.

Legageddon · 26/09/2018 07:13

Woah that times article does not do him any favours AT ALL.
Massive own goal there.

ErrolTheDragon · 26/09/2018 07:18

The times app shows the full billboard, which oddly seems cropped on the browser version. It's good to see the real thing instead of those silly doctored images posted by a couple of GFs.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 26/09/2018 07:34

The Times comments are pretty good. No one outlines the Baby Doctor's other activities and tantrums though.

Iused2BanOptimist · 26/09/2018 07:52

Here it is Calpop
Hope link works.

ItsAllGoingToBeFine · 26/09/2018 07:54

The Times has picked up on it now

Does anyone have a share link?

calpop · 26/09/2018 07:59

Suggest we all start doing this:

Will be interesting to see how far Twitter will go banning large chunks of their already slowing membership levels.

Done

AsAProfessionalFekko · 26/09/2018 08:11

Daily Mail dropped the ball there. Cut and paste from The times?

CallingDannyBoy · 26/09/2018 08:11

Thank you Dr Harrop for providing more publicity for this - the comments are fantastic on the Times. The article on the website is really highly placed. There is an also article on Emily Thornbury telling people to relax about transwomen being on Labour candidate lists. I wonder what Ocado’s response will be.

BeyondAdultHumanFemale · 26/09/2018 08:13

I'm liking the idea of #beyourownbillboard as suggested in the other thread

ErrolTheDragon · 26/09/2018 08:17

The DM has picked up the story and includes 3 photos of the billboard

Good article that doesn't pull any punches, but how come Posie's age is given, but not Dr Harrop's? God, his responsible officer must be tearing her hair out.

Juells · 26/09/2018 08:25

Oops, read further down and they do give his age. As you were...

TimeLady · 26/09/2018 08:29

Has Primesight deleted all tweets after 24 Sept? (I struggle with Twitter, tbh)

I guess the new owners might be less than impressed with the bad press. They only took over last week...

Heads may yet roll.

numptynuts · 26/09/2018 08:35

StandingforWomen has been suspended from Twitter.

KennDodd · 26/09/2018 08:36

This is a reminder to them that this transphobic hate group is observing them and scrutinising their presence in public life. It creates an atmosphere that makes transgender citizens of Liverpool feel unsafe and unwelcome in their own city. They walk through life in a state of heightened vulnerability, feeling that people are watching them, looking at their appearance, conduct and every single aspect of their life

Quote from Dr Harrop above. Does he not get irony?

BettyDuMonde · 26/09/2018 08:43

Dr Harrumph knows that life is like this for women and girls, he just doesn’t think it’s important in the way it is when penis people suffer it.

AsAProfessionalFekko · 26/09/2018 08:48

A gay man told me once that lesbians didn't like gay men. Dr Baby doesn't appear to like women at all. How do his patients feel about this?

ErrolTheDragon · 26/09/2018 08:48

Dr Harrumph knows that life is like this for women and girls,

Does he? I get the impression he knows very little about women and girls at all.

Igneococcus · 26/09/2018 08:56

Looking at the comments and the number of recommendations for most of them I think Harrop will by now have realized what a dumb thing to do this was.
