Mx Lord's response asks "is it right that I as a bi/queer non-binary person who has from time to time spoken up, in a personal capacity, in favour of the rights of LGBT people should recuse myself in this case?"
Lord's tweets in favour of the rights of lgbt people include: • calling Professor Kathleen Stock is a “notorious trans hater”
• calling Naomi Cunningham “a well known ‘gender critical’ barrister who champions transphobic causes”
For those who don't know Mx Lord, this is they. They is in an LTR to another queer person who is female.
