Posie Parker is just in make-up and about to go up against Mr Harrop. Please tune in and send her lots of good vibes!

Some of it is here:

Here's hoping they get a round 2 on another channel, this needs shouting from the rooftops and the more times AH is exposed for the misogynist he is.

FloralBunting · 26/09/2018 17:14

He was sitting too close to the screen, too, so looked more like one of the Thunderbird puppets than ever.

massi71 · 26/09/2018 17:14

I missed it and it's just been deleted from YouTube

It doesn't look like Harrop managed to convince anyone judging by the comments under this!

littlbrowndog · 26/09/2018 17:15

It was him using her name like he does to women on twitter to tell them off

RaininSummer · 26/09/2018 17:15

Links removed - bloody hell. It was a TV broadcast which we are not allowed to see??

TerfedOff · 26/09/2018 17:17

Don't worry. Nothing sinister. Just the sound cocked up. Will be up soon.

scepticalwoman · 26/09/2018 17:17

The comments on Sky's twitter are very positive about Posie.
I really liked this one:

"Where's the foetus gonna gestate. You gonna keep it in a box?" Grin

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 26/09/2018 17:17

thanks @melamin
amazing watch!!

wiccamum · 26/09/2018 17:17

Caught the clip on Twitter. Posie by name and Poised by nature! Well done, staying calm and evenly spoken. Clear, concise and factual, love it!

LittleBittyKitty · 26/09/2018 17:17

There's a cut down version on the Sky News FB page.

OvaHere · 26/09/2018 17:18

Judging by the twitter comments Posie judged her audience well for the soundbite Grin

LoveAScaryTaleMe · 26/09/2018 17:18

Sorry , I have obviously been living on Mars recently. I have no idea who,either of these people are. ( please don't evict me from MN for the shame.)

HandsOffMyRights · 26/09/2018 17:18

God Penfold did not come across well.

One thing though on any interview I've seen is that it is rarely said that trans women have penises. I think most assume the men have transitioned.

Also that trans girls/women might be females transitioning to men.

ShimmyShimmyYa · 26/09/2018 17:18

agree wiccamum: very poised.
Brilliant!

LoveAScaryTaleMe · 26/09/2018 17:18

^^ Sorry I don't know where the rogue punctuation came from.

GoldenWonderwall · 26/09/2018 17:19

I managed to watch this. I get why she pushed mrs - it’s because he was saying ms in that awful patronising way that some men do to make a statement about petty feminists. He sounded like an arse when he insisted on dr - who wants drs arguing on the telly? It’s not a good look for the profession or him personally if he goes into general medicine.

A woman appropriating the dictionary definition of woman! Couldn’t make it up Grin

FloralBunting · 26/09/2018 17:20

He did a lot of 'hmmm' noises as well, bless him, in between tweet-like statements, probably because he couldn't work out how to counter Posie without a personal attack, an authority threat or an instruction that she should learn lessons.

CottonTailRabbit · 26/09/2018 17:20

I wanted to hear more about Harrop's definition of a transphobic campaign.

A woman is anyone who identifies as a woman. Well, that will have peaked a few people even with all the petty bickering with their names.

SandyDrawsBadly · 26/09/2018 17:22

Best TV I’ve seen in years.

Appropriating the word woman.

What a plonker.

DereksSexyPyjamas · 26/09/2018 17:23

She. Was. Awesome.

RiverTam · 26/09/2018 17:23

Love her closing gambit, fucking stellar!

Beerincomechampagnetastes · 26/09/2018 17:23

Thanks for the links - I really enjoyed it , posie did herself and us proud.
Harrop on the other hand looked like a sweaty little toad.. all I think when I look at him is ..... twat. Grin

He is genuinely such a little loser.

nicenewdusters · 26/09/2018 17:23

I'm going to have a note on my medical records that Dr Harrop is not to come anywhere near me or treat me. He probably wouldn't want to anyway, as I'm one of those hard line old school women who has appropriated the word women for herself. Oh the cheek of me !

Massive own goal about whether he asks his female patients what sex/gender they are !! If a man says a woman and he whips back the sheet to see his wedding tackle, what does he do then? Just go along with it ?Idiot.
