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

 


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...

(1) I want to be >


> to be honest with people in my life about something I didn't choose without fear of violence.

(2) My unchosen condition shouldn't result in me losing my job, or my future employability, so long as I discharge the responsibilities.

(3) I should have the same access to >


> therapy and other services as anyone else, even if my condition is known.

(4) I should have the right to talk (in appropriate language) in public about my condition without being banned, censored or criminalised. I don't ask for an automatic right to any >


> specific platform, only some sense that I can use my voice like anyone else can to talk about their life.

(5) I should have the right to be judged just for my own actions, but not for other people's, no matter how much I have in common with them.

(6) If I acknowledge my >

(7) I should have the right to disclose my condition and not trigger a safeguarding report or an escalation to law enforcement if there's no >


> evidence of wrongdoing.

I don't expect the right to be happy, the right to be accepted or to talk about pedophilia in every environment nor the right to hurt or endanger other people. I don't expect the right to be able to go places I'm not allowed or to make any child >


> uncomfortable.

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. ::


 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

is it ok for pedophiles to fantasize?

 

thread: mutual coming out is hard

 

age of attraction is one continuous dimension

A pedophile who has never offended against a child and doesn't foresee a problem with offending ought to feel free to fantasize.

It's hard to come out to regular people, but it can even be hard to come out to another pedophile.

The differences in attraction patterns involving age is one more aspect to how much variety there is among pedophiles.
