      Speaking as a gay men, I believe we SHOULD include the P. To do otherwise is to betray the principles that give us our rights.

          No molestation is what harms children. Pedophilia is not a synonym for child molestation.

          Big whoops for a missing comma. That should have been "No, molestation is what harms children." Or, with a full stop: "No. Molestation is what harms children."

          Pedophiles have never been part of the LGBT community. As humans, we should support anti-contact pedophiles, but this is a separate activism, with a different history.

          James you should listen to feminists about child sexual abuse - the men that rape children make a choice - it is neither an illness nor a condition, and it most certainly is not a sexual orientation or preference

          The so-called "non-contact" paedophiles are very happy for others to abuse children on film for their sexual gratification. Men who view images of child abuse are child abusers by proxy. Sexual orientation is about which sex a person is attracted to, not paraphilias.

          Rights are not given. Either rights are inherent to those who understand and respect them, or they do not exist. A person who takes advantage of a child, who cannot consent, due to lack of complete info and understanding, does not respect or retain rights.https://twitter.com/InsanityIsFree/status/1078869401397587968 …

          Let me explain something as calmly as I can, since it's come up many times. - "sexual orientations" don't age - a kink for children is not LGBT+ compatible - it's a disorder that scars children If you're #MAP, #NOMAP, or whatever you say, stay away from me... For your safety.

          An individual’s rights end where another’s begins. P absolutely should not ever be legitimatised because in order to act upon those urges, one must take advantage of someone who hasn’t developed agency and can’t understand consent. P is as legitimate as using date-rape drugs.

          You are confusing pedophilia (the unchosen sexuality pattern) with child molestation (the crime). No one contests the latter. I'm pointing out only that by treating the form like human beings, we will prevent more of the latter.

          I have no issue with prophylactic treatment - that is frankly preferable. My concern is the miss-use of biological arguments. People confuse “natural” for “safe” - arsenic is natural. Our biology is setup to make us eat and gain weight: but being morbidly obese isn’t good.

          The other point I’d make is that we haven’t proved that sexuality is biologically determined. The twin studies show that while a gay twin is correlated with the other twin being gay, it’s a weak correlation - so there is complexity beyond biological determinism.

          In that sentence you are disregarding several lines of biological evidence. You are also misunderstanding how nature and nurture are unwound in research. Nurture does not automatically get credit for everything not yet demonstrably nature.

          Sure, but you’re claiming that biological determinism without presenting evidence. I’m not making a case to change anything, you are, therefore it’s up to you to present a robust argument - right now all you’ve given us is an appeal to nature based on very evidence of Naturalness

          Yeah, we do. We need the right to be protected from being fired from our jobs just for being MAPs. We need the right to sex dolls (if we want them). There are others. I can't believe you are this limited in your perspective that you can't think of ANY rights we don't already have
