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.

I mean they are linking to Fairplay for Women!

You've gotta love that utter lack of self-awareness.

To steal someone else's phrase, may God grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.

Dad of trans call to arms....Because one section of the site does not agree with them they want to deprive women of what is for many their main source of support.

He blocked me ages ago. Tell me though does he ever take on Kiwi Farms for the threads they run on him and his Golfing "lawyer" buddy? Or is it only MN he's fixated on?

jiggery I remember a TRA on twitter once stating that even pets don't have a sex and you should refer to then using neutral pronouns so you don't misgender them as they can't state their gender preference. Someone else asked them how they should find out if their cat was likely to get pregnant, if male and female don't exist, and the TRA said "simple, just wait a bit and see if it gives birth or not". I was very new to the debate at the time and assumed that this was an extreme fringe outlier level of crazy that didn't reflect the mainstream TRA position. I miss those days of simple innocence.

EthelMayFergus · 16/04/2020 13:45

Odd little chap; I've never seen a man so obviously loathe women.

It must eat him up, all day, every day. I certainly wouldn't allow him to fit my coil.

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 13:47

You're a legend R0

Quite Laura.

Marketing milk? Let's stop marketing it to the biggest group of women and mothers in history, because of a single doctor's own personal crusade against them.

DickKerrLadies · 16/04/2020 13:49

It's almost as if they have no idea of the history surrounding the advertising of milk products to mothers. But y'know, that's just little stuff for women, isn't it?

stumbledin · 16/04/2020 13:50

Think he has gone into panic mode. Despite him and other trans activists trying to create this impression of murderous women mouthing hate speech, it has become clear through recent publicity that few believe him / them. (After all its only Pink News whoever write this up as an actual thing.)

In a way it is a compliment to mumsnet that despite what some of us feel is a rather tight moderating of discussion, women are still writing about and exposing the lies of some trans activism.

Or of course just a way of trying to get the trans issue back on the mainstream media agenda, because lets face it the new reality of a global pandemic not that many people are wasting time on endlessly mutable identities, and both the Scottish and the Westeminster Parliament have put the GRA on the back burner.

There are priorities, and then there are real life priorities.

isabellerossignol · 16/04/2020 13:51

As we've seen from Flora and Birdseye this works

Grin Have they not worked out that it's actually Flora and Birdseye who lose the most by not advertising straight to a demographic that is perfect for the products they sell.

Interesting to see the men who are leading the attack on women raising concerns about Safeguarding children & sex-based rights.

parietal · 16/04/2020 13:52

you know, this thread has inspired me to sign up to Mumsnet Premium. Best way to keep this place safe from loss of advertising revenue.

Al1Langdownthecleghole · 16/04/2020 13:52

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

Very good Jiggery.

Now why would a Dr want to shut down Mumsnet at a time when victims of domestic abuse are particularly vulnerable?

DocHolliday · 16/04/2020 13:54

Arla's Head Office is in Leeds.
Haunt of certain eejits
Shall we organise the many screenshots of Haddocks hateful twitter pronouncements and forward them to Arla and inform them he is under investigation by the GMC for his online behaviour?

Please send them all you have. He doesn't seem to have much else to do in this crisis. I don't know any women who would be happy to be treated by him. He would not get near me no matter how ill I was.

KenDodd · 16/04/2020 13:56

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

Right well that's me decided, off to sign up the MN premium. Thanks to the nudge from Adrian Harrop.

Datun · 16/04/2020 13:59

All these women, gathered together, unprecedented in history. An advertisers dream.

Does he really think they're going to listen to someone who thinks that the definition of the word woman is hateful bigotry? The very people they are advertising to? It's crazy.

FleecyMoo · 16/04/2020 13:59

Arla make the lacto free milk that I have to drink due to severe lactose intolerance. I'm not 100% sure what's going on here but does this mean I can no longer buy lacto free milk since I believe the same dairy makes Tesco's own brand? How much more misery do these sad individuals have to cause others just to feed their own sense of entitlement and being 'special'.

I had really hoped that the narcissists would be furloughed during a global pandemic but it appears that the sad sacks are working as usual

Datun · 16/04/2020 14:00

Hey, advertisers, I need you to help me remove the source of your own income!

MoltenLasagne · 16/04/2020 14:02

A couple of weeks ago dairies local to us were having to pour milk down the drains because their industrial contracts had disappeared and they didn't have the packaging to convert to consumer supply.

There's been a massive effort throughout the food industry to switch to direct to customer because of the impacts of Covid. I'm amazed Dr H thinks they're going to prioritise the vendetta of a couple of sad little men over, you know, keeping the whole business going. Something, something disconnect with reality...

SirVixofVixHall · 16/04/2020 14:06

In a pandemic, where thousands of people have died in the past week alone, our dear doctor is there trying to stop women talking to each other . What a creepy little man he is. Bring down Mumsnet ? Honestly. Mummy issues there I think.

KaronAVyrus · 16/04/2020 14:07

You’ve got a point Molten. Most companies are struggling for their basic survival with huge cash flow problems; redeploying or furloughing staff; organising emergency loans from unhelpful banks etc etc. But Harrop seems to think that in the midst of an unprecedented global pandemic Arla will put all that to one side and deal with his one man quest to destroy a website. 🤦‍♀️
He’s insane.

VettiyaIruken · 16/04/2020 14:07

Well, he has to try anything to regain attention since people are more concerned about staying safe right now.

MindTheMinotaur · 16/04/2020 14:07

This is collective punishment, the discussion about trans is way beyond MN and fully in the political and public domain.

They know this.

ForbiddenFromNaples · 16/04/2020 14:08

'' inform them he is under investigation by the GMC for his online behaviour?''

Holy shit is that true? If you look at his twitter output, he does pay a lot of attention to a certain type of twink. At best its unseemly, but really its crrepy AF
