thread: normalizing pedophilia?

from twitter and bluesky threads

The term "normalization" has come to mean "shut up" when used against us on social media.

 


If, when you see an anti-contact MAP speak on twitter, you want them to be quiet because you're against "normalising pedophilia", consider this:

(1) Do you actually mean "normalising child abuse"? But anti-contact MAPs speak out clearly against child abuse...

or, (2) >


> Do you mean "normalising attraction to children"?

Because talking about it can't influence whether it happens or not. For those of us with an attraction, it is normality for us from a very early age.

And for those without an attraction, it will never be normal for them... >


> (3) Pedophilia is part of the normality you have around you every day, whether you care to have it acknowledged or not.

Some of it you hear about because it leads to abuse.

But most of it you don't hear about because it doesn't.

That *distorts* your picture of normality. >


> Refusing to hear about non-offending and anti-contact MAPS 'normalises' a worldview that says "if someone has an attraction to kids, they're going to abuse kids", and that's

(a) factually wrong and

(b) hides the fact that pedophiles have a choice to *not offend* >


(4) If we, the anti-contact and non-offending MAPs fall silent and drop off twitter, who do you think are going to speak up louder?

The pro-contact MAPs, who want to persuade people that child abuse should be allowed.

Let's let it be normal for us to speak against that. ::

Earlier this year I did an interview for an article in The Sun, not realizing the impact it would have on our lives.

 

kira

We interview anti-contact, non-offending pedophile who shares being an abuse survivor, his awareness of being gay as a teenager, recognizing early on that he was an exclusive pedophile, and now being a CSA prevention advocate.

What evidence could anyone possibly marshal to conclude that all the members of a group — one defined by their thoughts and not their actions — are sex offenders if they are undetected by anyone?
