You do not have the right to normalise this.

It affects a small percentage of the population. It will never be "normal." We do have the right to be treated like human beings.

Sure, people can be horrified by our attractions. But it doesn't excuse inhumane treatment for those who haven't acted on their attractions.

It also doesn't include a pat on the back for trying to equate them to a legitimate disability. You may have an unfortunate condition, but that does not mean the world needs to hear about it or normalize it.

The world needs to hear about it. People, usually teens, find out every day that they're attracted to younger children. They need to hear that they aren't ticking time bombs. They aren't destined to offend. There's no cure, but therapy and peer support help with not offending.

Protecting children from sexual abuse means teaching them how to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy expressions of sexuality. They need to know consent, and that their body belongs to them. COCSA is often overlooked, but it can be just as devastating as being abused by an adult.

In case there needs to be any clarification: when I speak of children consenting, I mean with peers their age, not adults. Children cannot meaningfully consent to sexual contact with adults; this is child sexual abuse, and has been shown to cause trauma and damage to children.

There's inherent power imbalance involved when adults allow sexual contact between themselves and children, with children's mental immaturity it presents such a high risk of damage to the child that if you really do love children, you would never play roulette with their lives.

There can never be a lack of coercive processes that go along with such a large power imbalance. That is kept in check even among adults that have fully mature mental reasoning abilities. It is the reason that most bosses are prohibited from sleeping with their employees.
