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.

Here's a discussion on MumsNet : https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3357713-BISH-proudly-supported-by

and here: https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/womens_rights/3339137-BACP-Gender-Sexual-and-Relationship-Diversity-by-Dr-Meg-John-Barker

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....

As someone on mumsnet said:

How long before safeguarding children is banned because its ....phobic?

Also:

Ray Blanchard, professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto, who led the APA’s (AMerican Psychiatric Assoc) working group on the subject, said that unless some other way was found of encompassing hebephilia in the new manual, that was “tantamount to stating that the APA’s official position is that the sexual preference for early pubertal children is normal”.
