Posted his request about 5 minutes ago (or at least thats when I saw it) on twitter.

Im not even particularly anti trans, but when I see attempts to whip up mobs like that, I feel that hes making people anti trans.

Sort makes me want to resort to making insidious dog whistle anti trans rhetoric just to fuck with him.

Leaving his trans stance aside, going by the rest of his twitter offerings, hes definitely not the person I would want as a GP. Lacks decorum and gravitas.

Does he not work in NHS.

Is he not busy doing his work with NHS ?

On a male-dominated website (which shall remain nameless), there's a very nasty thread on a certain doctor. Said thread is hundred times worse than anything that gets posted here. However, I have never even seen the good color even acknowledged this website.

I wonder why the good doctor only channel gets female dominated websites? Rather than the far worse male-dominated ones?

If transphobia is so widespread on the site then surely it'll be easy for him to get as many screenshots as he likes, right? No need to ask for help.

littlbrowndog · 16/04/2020 13:31

Why is he harassing women

It’s weird behaviour tbh

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 13:32

Come come now, it seems like nothing is more important to Adrian than abusing women online.

Especially when you consider that, if he has been working, he's probably not had many days off recently. Imagine spending your only day off looking for ways to shut women up.

i expect he's rallying all the TRA trolls who posted specifically for screenshots before they were rightly deleted.

In some boggle eyed view, posting deliberately inflammatory and rule-breaking posts for the purpose of screenshots is considered "proof" of something they've made up.

TubereuseNordlys · 16/04/2020 13:33

It's not evidence of anything, anyway, is it?
I'm fairly sure lots of TRAs post anti-trans sentiments on here just so they can screenshot and pretend Mumsnet is a hotbed of transphobia.

It's nasty.

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:34

The person he is helping appears to be targeting as many of mumsnet advertisers as they can.

I'm not sure they quite understand advertising. You want to sell a product, and given mumsnet has over 12 million unique users per month, it's kind of a no brainer.

Very interesting that that particular advertiser is asking for examples. And the examples they are sending them are opinion pieces, not actual examples 🙄

People are wising up now, and this kind of targeted spite is backfiring.

PronounssheRa · 16/04/2020 13:34

Christ I would have thought a doctor would have better things to do with his time while we are in the middle of a pandemic.

Anyway harrop at his threatening worst. I don't want you to feel safe

He's an odd fish. His stated objective is MN's 'financial ruin'.

Women talking really does seem to upset him.

It's reassuring to know he's under investigation wrt his unbalanced & unprofessional online behaviour.

Hmm I can take a rough guess at which site you mean...

forsucksfake · 16/04/2020 13:36

A male doctor is stirring up hate against women during a global pandemic. How wonderful.

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:37

"I want you to apologise for what you've said...I don't want you to feel safe".

Hey, mumsnet advertisers, take a look!

GlitterToast · 16/04/2020 13:37

Also: given the current global pandemic, shouldn't Harrop be, you know, actually working? Confused

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 13:37

His stated objective is MN's 'financial ruin'.

Which is utterly ridiculous as none of the women here, who are the ones he seems to actually have a problem with, have anything to gain or lose financially from MN.

The 'financial ruin' of MN would only affect a small handful of women - is Adrian specifically targeting Justine et al? Or is he just that stupid?

JiggeryWokery · 16/04/2020 13:38

I wonder how Arla dairies work out which cows to milk?

KaronAVyrus · 16/04/2020 13:40

What a tosser. He has destroyed his career because of his hatred of women. He needs help.

I think he (and "Dadtrans" are trying to ensure that women have nowhere they can speak about these issues in a way that centres women. Because a certain type of misogynist would love that.

littlbrowndog · 16/04/2020 13:41

Erm I can’t guess which cows are milked for milk 😎

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:42

Just had a look at a couple of the articles being sent to Arla.

The biggest own goals in history.

Are they relying on mumsnet advertisers to not actually read anything. Because as soon as you read any of it, the claims go up in a puff of smoke.

I mean they are linking to Fairplay for Women!

MindTheMinotaur · 16/04/2020 13:42

Systematic campaign to shut down MN. Now FWR isn't too everyone's taste but the desire to cut women off from a vital source of information for one section of the site is apoakung. I have seen women and men supported through serious illness, bereavement, domestic violence, crippling isolation the lot. This campaign originated with Dad of trans on Twitter. The aim is to Target every single income stream of mumsnet.

He should've stuck to his undertaker job.

LauraMipsum · 16/04/2020 13:43

They might want a chat with Flora about the wisdom of irritating a large cohort of women who do the household shopping to please those who don't.

Ugh mind. The lack of insight and self-awareness makes me want to take a shower.
