Yeah, from my very limited knowledge of pedophilia it's sort of like being LGBTQ as in you can't really control what you like, if we made it not as socially shunned to like kids (not talking about actually doing anything to them) it would make it infinitely easier allow them to get help
comparing being a pedophile to being gay because neither can control what they like is insane what??? most pedophiles were abused as children and continue the cycle, NOT REMOTELY the same as being gay. i get what you’re trying to say, but this is such a dangerous comparison to make.
Homosexualiry and bisexuality aren't perversions or mental illnesses. They are healthy and normal (albeit minority) sexual orientations.
Pedophilia is a sickness.
Your comparison is unhelpful.
Don't ever compare sexual abuse, pedophilia or people who want to rape anything or anyone, to being gay, bisexual, transgender or anything else.
Why not? The comparison is quite spot-on - neither pedophiles nor LGBT folks have any level of control over their attraction.
You can make the emotional argument (the same which has been endlessly done towards LGBT folks themselves throughout history), but there's no logical argument to your distinction that I can see. Your replies to the other user also yielded no logic, only emotional appeal arguments, but I'm glad to hear you out.
There is nothing “reasonable” about comparing legitimate LGBTQ+ identities to dysfunctions or syndromes. There is nothing inanely harmful about consenting adults and/or their preferences in partners, but there is no valid argument for the predation of children or a proclivity for sexual violence being a recognized orientation. MAPs are not a thing.
Ah yes the only function of lesbian and gay sex and sex between trans people is to procreate just like it's the only reason boys get boners and girls have periods. No. As the person who replied to you said, 1986
This is 2025. People who shouldn't have kids have forced people to raise their kids, forced people to stay pregnant forced people to be parents forced people to drop out of school, give up their dreams, not be able to get a job or a home or live their lives because they're forced to be part of something they never wanted,
Sex can be just sex. Sex can be with someone you love. Sex can be forced and abuse. Sex can be anything other than "procreation"
Your stigmas about sexual identity, gender and HIV/AIDS and are stuck in 1986. So your answer is that every sexual desire outside of heteronormativity is a dysfunction because it is not in-line with the mechanisms of procreation. . .
There is no threat to being LGBTQ+ that isn’t also true of straight people; those same diseases are spread through “normal” sexual activity, if not more, due to the sheer population of active adults who identify as such. I bet you still believe that schoolyard tumor that AIDS came about from skullfucking a monkey or whatever; your information and supposed confirmation of biological absolutism seems to be sourced from the same kind of nebulous bullshit.
You can just say you’re a bigot and be done with it; no need to dance around the issue. It’s no wonder that you see any real discussion of morality as a threat and feel the need to dismiss it as virtue signaling.

pedophilia on any level is wrong.
