Did you take a look at Lord's partner? Dr. Meg John-Parker https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meg-John_Barker

Meg-John Barker (born 23 June 1974) is an author, speaker, consultant, and activist-academic. They have written a number of anti self-help books on the topics of relationships, sex, and gender, as well as the popular comic book Queer: A Graphic History, and the book The Psychology of Sex. They are the writer of the relationships book and blog Rewriting the Rules, and they have a podcast with sex educator Justin Hancock.

Barker is currently a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the Open University in the United Kingdom with a focus on psychotherapy. Barker holds a PhD in Psychology from the University of Nottingham, and is also a UKCP accredited psychotherapist specializing in sex therapy and relationship counseling.

Barker has written and/or edited some of the first academic collections on open non-monogamy, bisexuality, non-binary gender and BDSM. They were editor of the journal Psychology & Sexuality from 2010 to 2017, and lead author of The Bisexuality Report and the BACP document on Gender, Sexual, and Relationship Diversity.

Barker's pronouns are singular they/them.

There's a group called Poly Dallas who recently had a conference on Meg John-Parker's book Rewriting the Rules. Take a look at the logo.

And here's a Twitter thread calling out her/their (?) connections with the pro-paedophilia lobby : https://twitter.com/PankhurstEM/status/1035445537011630080

The author of the @BACP woo-woo Dr. Meg John Barker is a champion of queer theory, in particular two of the core queer theorists - Pat Califia & Gayle S Rubin.

Dr. Barker has drawn and celebrated Rubin in her 'Queer: A Graphic History'. Alongside Rubin, Dr. Barker has found Pat Califia's work particularly helpful. Califia was in a sadomasochistic relationship with Rubin and celebrated being published in paedophile journals

And provides a link to Califa's article: Feminism, Pedophilia, and Children's Rights

I didn't have the stomach to read the whole thing through. These are some seriously disturbed people.

Another point: note her links to Nottingham University. That's one place that keeps coming up again and again....

Wow, Polydallas is clearly the pedo logo. They invite people who are into kink/bdsm, and anybody who's 'sex positive'. This means those of us against pedophilia will now be labelled 'sex-negative' and we'll be told we're 'kink shaming'.

From Barker's website Rewriting the Rules - Kink Awareness Exercise https://www.rewriting-the-rules.com/sex/kink-awareness-exercise/

Yesterday I ran my training session on kink/BDSM (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, and sadomasochism) to a group of sex and relationship therapists and it reminded me that I’ve been meaning to blog about the exercise I use in these sessions. ..

An individual gets a rush out of being put in terrifying situations which makes him scream and cry out in fear. He engages other people to put him in a special device which will result in these effects. When his time in the device is up, his face is white and he has tears in his eyes, but he begs them to let him go through it again...

Finally, it is worth pointing out that many of the activities mentioned are far more risky and non-consensual than the many of the most common kink activities (spanking and bondage, for example). In the training session we go on to explore the evidence against various common myths about kink being inherently dangerous, pathological and abusive.

From that twitter thread I pointed to: https://twitter.com/PankhurstEM/status/1035469846396514304

The @BACP best practice guidance has another sinister undertone running through. People needing therapy for trauma are, in best practice, to be educated that kink-play such as BDSM is a way to work through one's history of sexual abuse, that 'sex work' is just another kind of relationship and sex for survival is normal. With regards to entering the porn industry or kink-play being an @BACP endorsed therapeutic method for those undergoing therapy for sexual trauma see @SuzzanBlac 's work Huge Trigger Warning https://theviolenceofpornography.blogspot.com/2017/10/kink-is-new-sexual-sadism.html

And believe me, that link provided is very NSFW

All of this stuff endorsed by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

Pankhurst's tweets are very eye-opening.

Kink and BDSM are straight out of the porn handbook. Some men get turned on by seeing women in pain. That's why BDSM exists. If you go to any BDSM 'education' evening (and yes they exist) it's a bunch of dirty old men telling young, curious women that pain is good, and how enjoyable it is to be tied up and tortured. And some young women fall for it. imho, they are lost and probably have had a traumatic childhood. They teach men how to tie up women, hang them from the ceiling, sometimes upside down. They tell women how exciting this is. I've seen photos of what they do to women. It's sadistic and it's dangerous. They have 'safe words' but I've seen women using the safe word, and the torture not stopping.

The proponents of BDSM/kink are evil, as are the supporters of 'sex work'. They propagate the exploitation and abuse of women. I know Suzzan Blac. She does amazing work and she knows how sick these people are.

Yes, the BACP if rotten to the core.
