As a PHD student he spoke at a conference that was called B4U-ACT which is clearly supposed to be about preventing acts of pedophilia through social and clinical means.
He's written about it since too and it seems to be a case of the argument he's making being an uncomfortable one (it is) and perhaps too sympathetic sounding for most people (it maybe is); basically there are people attracted to minors who don't commit acts of pedophilia, the social stigmas of this stop these people seeking help which exacerbates the problem etc.
so is this guy actually a pedophile or is it transphobes lying again?

No clue honestly. I'm, stupidly, giving terfs the benefit of the doubt. Even if they're correct, they're still shit.
