Billboard with dictionary definition 'woman: adult human female' removed after pressure from TRAs.

Is the OED now hate speech?

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

Thanks for putting that you tube clip up msJemima. I missed it this morning.

Fantastic piece on Sky News - and definitely MDU won't cover Mr Harrop for this!

A bit devastated about cancelling Ocado, they have the best service by far, but we have to hit them where it will hurt - on their bottom line.

Agree Harrop hates women. I feel very uneasy when I read his spiteful little threads on twitter, to think he works in the NHS.
I’ve donated too. We’ve all had enough of this rubbish! The Sky news piece was great. More and more people are seeing the misogyny and totalitarianism at the root of trans activism. The presenter mentioned “transsexuals” in women’s jails, rather than using the term transgender, showing that most people still conflate the two. That isn’t helpful for transsexuals and leaves the public thinking that we are talking about post-op, effeminate homosexual men. Other than that though ,it was a really sensible and well informed piece.

Interesting poll

Interesting parody (I hope!) account.

A parody account, I'm guessing numpty.

Though hard to tell the difference these days.

Well done Posie, you really got your moneys worth for this! That Sky piece was amazing

Adrian Harrop does seem to know what a male is though. His publicly available data on the GMC website says so:

GMC reference number 7266505
Family name Harrop
First name Adrian
Other name(s) Antony
Gender Man

The article in The Times has nearly 600 comments with many posters complaining that there's a backlog of additional comments awaiting approval.

I don't know how much that billboard cost but it was money well spent.

Agreed, nauticant. I was outraged at first that Harrop had got the poster taken down but now I'm delighted because a) the poster itself is receiving loads more publicity b) far more people have been exposed to the idiocy of trans activism c) loads of people now know what a vile, self-satisfied little arsewipe Harrop is. And every prospective employer who googles his name in future will find the Times article.

I don't want Dr Harrop to be sued. All he did was make a complaint (ok and tweet about it). He's done more for the gender critical cause than any other man this week. In fact, he should get some kind of award. But snarkiness aside, let them complain - free speech matters and i don't want disproportionate censorship. Public massive backfiring of kneejerk responses to activist complaint clouds is helpful. It should make companies like primesight more thoughtful.

Yes, to put it another way, how do the numbers stack up:

1. people aware of the poster a couple of days ago; and
2. people aware that the poster has been taken down?

Even if that was the goal all along, the Harrop aspect would not have been foreseen and so can be looked on as a bonus.

Yeah, more power to Harrop.

He is going a brilliant job. That he is entirely unaware of. Which makes it even better.

Just ordered some Woman Adult Human Female stickers for next week, excited.

I was when it got taken down.

But after today's coverage

Posie was absolutely brilliant. I know it's really unfair to talk about people's looks, but she looks great - strong sensible good-looking woman who gives no fucks. You could see she was laughing at how ridiculous he was being, and it wasn't nasty smirking, it was "What the fuck, can you believe the bullshit he's spouting?"

I liked as well that she said "We knew chaps like you would..." avoiding the word men. She was very good at avoiding all the accusations people like to throw at feminists, accusing them of being man-haters and dungaree-wearing nuts. She made him call her by her name, prevented him calling her Posie in that patronising way, talked over him just like men do to women, and looked absolutely calm throughout, as if she was dealing with an idiot spouting nonsense.

What a spectacular own-goal, yet another one, for the TRAs.

You could see why people like him say no debate. He’s shit at it. Couldn’t project himself at all. Charisma bypass there.

Just been challenged on messenger by my brother in law (2 daughters) who tells me patronisingly that I might want to look further into Brendon from Sky's other interests.

Hopefully I explained factually why changes to the GRA pose a major risk to women and girls.

F**king aresehole.

Brendan from sky? Who's that?

The guy on the Sky Press Preview thing?

Yes the Sky journalist commenting on the poster story. There's a link upthread

Do you mean Adrian aka Dr Harrop?

Sorry misunderstood. I haven't read the journo link

Sorry think I've ranted on wrong thread! But if you're on Twitter search for this news clip. It's great!

I'm following you now. You mean Brendan O Neil. So much has happened today I'd forgotten all about that.
