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.

I want to see Ali G ask: 'Is it because I is non-binary?'

'Mrs Justice Eady noted that it would have been better if Edward Lord had raised the issue of potential appearance of bias over these issues himself.

She noted the importance of disclosure as “a badge of impartiality”'

Well, duh. Can he be sacked for this?

I moved to France last year and always, always greet anyone in the house with a hearty 'God Moaning'.

I work in a skool and every time I visit foreign languages I say 'I have good nose!! I was just pissing by your door!' which is even more hilarious because they are all in their 20s and have never heard of Ello Ello. They just think I am weird.

This would crack me up every time.

It really does make me smile every day.

Zis wiki entry is quite the read. Ze has fingers in an extraordinary number of pies. Ze is also a Freemason, which tells me everything I need to know about zim and zis principles.

Chilling how some men are dedicated to harming women. They spend years beavering away at it.
50 years for some things.

And yet we are expected to not see this and just welcome them in our spaces.

Sickening. But now, thanks to a lot of very dedicated women and allies, they're starting to come under scrutiny. And suddenly all that nasty stuff can't be hidden away any more.

So, in otherwords, this most disadvantaged member of the LGBTQXYZ+++ rainbow is, in fact, a straight white man?

Gotcha.

Penguintears · 07/07/2022 15:39

Thank goodness common sense reigns again. Very suspicious that it was an "admin error" that allowed to volunteer and that the judge said he should have disclosed his bias but didn't.

What does queer mean when it's referring to a man in a long term relationship with a woman?

Well I couldn't possibly confirm one way or the other. But judging by appearances (and I've been sure how you can identify as the most oppressed if you look like the most privileged. See also Muscato and Yaniv)

looks like ze’s been eating a few of them too.

Pretty sure I've read they are bi.
But they are still a misogynist.

I think it means Lord wears nail polish or was it pink sparkly wellies...?....might be getting him mixed (or should that be mx-ed) up with another non-binary male up here in Scotland - tbh I get them confused as they look almost exactly the same.

I've just discovered that Edward Lord acts as a lay chair for the UKCP in their complaints process when investigating psychotherapists for misconduct.

That's interesting to me as I can't find any published link between Lord and the UCKP, I just came across this information when researching UKCP misconduct hearings for work.

That's interesting, isn't it? So Edward has inserted Edward-self right at the heart of the disciplinary machinations of one of the leading psychotherapy membership bodies in the UK.

The same psychotherapy membership body James Esses is in the process of taking to court.

This is how they do it. They lever themselves into positions of influence and power.

It becomes clearer if you Google the name of Lords partner.

Well well well. Great find!

whenimnotwithyou · 31/07/2022 11:43

Yes I'm already aware of Lord's partner's contributions to the therapy profession.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 31/07/2022 12:19

Well spotted whenimnotwithyou
It's the Denton's report model - infiltrate at a senior organisational level to influence in your own self interest. This is why we're in this mess.

nocoolnamesleft · 31/07/2022 21:51

I am confused. How can this individual be both nonbinary and also a member of the freemasons? Everyone knows the masons only take men (the type born with penises)

Rightsraptor · 31/07/2022 22:11

I nope James Esses knows this.

Edward Lord should recuse Edwardself or be ousted from quite a few roles, it would appear. How many positions does one NB need?

It must be a non-binary penis.

What a deeply sinister little bastard ze is.

No straight, bi and likes to go on and on about it.

Once upon a time a rich, white, heterosexual couple who liked swinging might not have been recognised as amongst the most oppressed group in Britain.

But Edward Lord just adopted plural pronouns (with no change in presentation) and his wife Meg put on a flat cap and hyphenated her name with a male one and now they are both super oppressed.
