Don't pedophiles already have all the rights they need?

Bly is a former co-director of Virtuous Pedophiles. Blog posts reflect his personal views, and are not statements from the organisation.

People say, "You're anti-contact. Since you're not seeking the right to have sex with minors, and nobody can identify by sight that you're a MAP, what's the problem? You can have a peaceful life; just don't tell anyone about it."

What's the problem with this statement?

> Why don't I just return to a normal life, delete my twitter, and forget about it? Basically, I have all the rights I need already, right?

These are the rights I would like to have that I don't, and you must admit they're not, like, massively unreasonable...

I already breathe the same air as everyone else, walk the same streets, take the same buses, see the same sights, abide by the same laws, pay the same taxes.

I just want to be able to say who I am. ::
