General Public Unaware of Push to Normalize Pedophilia in Culture and Academia

 Mom who hunts down pedophiles says its unthinkable to call them'minor-attracted persons' Colorado mom Lydia Lerma feels punched when she hears the trendy new term "minor attracted person." Just thinking of the damage a pedophile inflicted upon her son, who was six at the time, causes pain.

'Like Any Other Sexual Orientation'

• Pedophilia is an "unchangeable sexual orientation," just like heterosexuality
• Most countries outlaw adults having sexual contact or intercourse with children in most situations
• The term minor-attracted person grabbed headlines after professor Allyn Walker used it during a discussion on pedophiles in November 2021
• Within weeks, Walker resigned from her job as an assistant sociology and criminal justice professor at Old Dominion University in Virginia
• She blamed the public outcry on intolerance for her transgender identity and said the research aimed to prevent child sexual abuse

Growing Cultural Acceptance

• The fashion house Balenciaga faced backlash recently after running an ad campaign depicting little girls holding a Teddy bear wearing ******* gear.
• Jon Uhler, a therapist who has assessed hundreds of pedophiles, fears pedophilia is on the road to normalization
• Sex offender treatment specialists are trained to view sex offenders as victims of trauma

Creating a Protected Class

• Normalizing pedophilia ultimately could lead to a major cultural change-elevating pedophilia to a protected class.
• If children legally can decide what they can do with their bodies, then pedophiles could argue that they should be able to consent to a sexual relationship.

Moving Toward Decriminalizing Pedophilia

• Jeff Childers, who has fought against mask mandates and helped parents oppose sexualization in schools, said looking back at how homosexuality became recognized as an orientation may offer insight into what could happen to pedophilia.
• If pedophiles gain sexual-orientation status, they could work on decriminalizing sex between minors and adults.

No Gentle Words

• Lerma's quest for justice for her son made headlines in 2018 after she successfully hunted down his abuser, a man who had access to the child while living at her ex-husband's home.
• Pedophilia shouldn't be considered a sexual orientation because it involves an unequal power dynamic between a child and an adult
