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

Bly Rede 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 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 >

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. ::

Someone recently sent me an email saying that they had been a victim in CP, that someone was trying to make those pictures available on the clear web (not just the dark web) and they wanted my help in getting rid of them. They then included several links.

Kincaid thinks we should go back to hugging kids and playing with them without worrying obsessively. But he then adds, curiously, "if you find yourself getting too excited, going too far, wanting to incite or not to stop — then stop."

Aella's survey found thousands of people with a sexual interest in kids. How should we interpret this?
