Why is a ‘trans ally’ GP trying to fight the gender wars?

Dr Adrian Harrop, a 31-year-old GP, has been suspended from practising medicine for a month. Harrop, a so-called trans-ally, had conducted a personal crusade online, supposedly to protect trans rights. But woe betide anyone who happened to disagree with him.

Harrop called one woman who took a different view ‘a venomous transphobic bigot’. He said her central aim was to ‘demonise trans people’ while ‘excluding them from public life’. In another message, he wrote: ‘Cis people, on the whole, are just awful and there needs to be a massive state-sponsored programme of re-education’.

He condemned women who defend their sex-based rights – ‘terfs’ (or trans-exclusionary radical feminists), he called them. He said that such people ‘dress up their hatred and bigotry towards trans people in a veil of genuine concerns re safety and civil, intellectual debate, but in truth it’s complete nonsense. Terfs hate Trans.
