I joined the MAP community as a young, naive, teen. I was hopelessly in love with little girls and the prospect of a lifetime of loneliness seemed inevitable and devastating. I had radical ideas of legalizing relationships between adults and tween girls and looked for ways to be able to spend time with them. (Though
I think we will soon see a mass social rejection of the far-right’s hatred, as people move toward a more progressive and empathetic worldview. Pair that with continued scientific research, and there’s going to be a societal reckoning on the level of Stonewall, for the MAP community. -Katelyn Marie Cruz 24 Nov 2022 It’s gonna
I’m sick. I’m in tears. I’m angry that the most innocent among us can be taken in such a heinous, and violent way. That this has become so prevalent in America. Remember their names. This link is to a Twitter thread with names and pictures of the victims. This thread will be dedicated to the

My thoughts on this article: The complicated research behind pedophilia – USA Today There’s a lot of problematic rhetoric in the article from both Dr Cantor, and Anna Salter. I wish other, less controversial, MAP researchers would talk to the media instead of Cantor. He continues to perpetuate outdated stereotypes. I hate how the article
It’s #InternationalDayOfGirlChild, a day where we recognize girls all over the world and the challenges they face in education, body autonomy, and sometimes even basic survival. What can you do to better the life of girls around you, and around the world?
Focus on the romantic and emotional side of the orientation, not so much the sexual side. Humanize us. We want the same thing everyone else wants. We care deeply about the people we’re attracted to. It’s about love and not just sex. For a lot of us, it’s not about sex at all. Love is
Should we defend LGBTQ people’s status in society if they condemn us? While being a MAP doesn’t make one LGBTQ, there are a lot of people who are LQBTQ who are also MAPs. I for one am a lesbian along with being a MAP. And I know several trans and queer MAPs as well. So
