In reply to a MAP who was just coming to terms with their orientation. A lot of MAPs were in denial about their orientation, and some were antis. Before I accepted myself, I thought all pedophiles were bad. I said all sorts of anti-pedophile stuff, almost as a form of overcompensation. We all have our
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
Occasionally I meet an adult woman that I find myself attracted to. Usually it’s because she has some teen or childlike characteristic, whether physical or personality-wise. It’s very rare, and I still consider myself exclusively attracted to girl children.
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

I consider myself a “Freedom of Choice” MAP. I believe that everyone should have the right to full body autonomy and can choose who, when, how, and to what extent they wish to engage in a relationship, or to not engage in one, regardless of age. I believe that everyone including minors should be empowered
We’re here to protect children and make them happy. Unlike adult relationships, we don’t get to commit ourselves to one child. Over the years we’ll have multiple children whom we’ll meet and hopefully leave a positive impact on. But they’ll eventually outgrow us. But hopefully they’ll look back fondly on the time we shared. It’s
