pedophilia ///

If you confide in me that you have chronic intrusive thoughts of a sexual nature about children, and that you have coping methods that don& #39;t harm real people, we& #39;re chill.

If you tell me that you identify as a "minor-attracted person", we& #39;re not.

One is an identity! The other is a Thing You& #39;re Going Through!

The first also means the people you& #39;re talking to for help and bonding with are largely people with intrusive thoughts, not "people with minor attraction". Focus is different.

That& #39;s what I have to emphasize the /most/ here. The problem that Prostasia and the MAP community thinks they& #39;re uniquely positioned to fix? i am totally fine with. I detest and am repelled by how they try to fix it and think it& #39;s intensely, horrifically harmful.

(And if you currently identify as a "minor-attracted person" but this is resonating, that& #39;s okay! you can change the words you use and how you identify and like - rethink your approach.)

You (probably) have more in common with people w/ hypersexuality, OCD, bipolar, PTSD, etc. than you do with other people who may try to use the MAP label.
