Written by Alia Dastagir, the article laments that pedophilia stands among “the most misunderstood” of sexual orientations, with people often making it synonymous with child abuse. Dastagir writes:
When most of the public thinks of pedophilia, they assume it’s synonymous with child sexual abuse, a pervasive social problem that has exploded to crisis levels online. Researchers who study pedophilia say the term describes an attraction, not an action, and using it interchangeably with ‘abuse” fuels misperceptions.
The American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has described pedophilia as being marked by “recurrent, intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children.”
Some scientists have even put forward the idea that pedophilia may originate in the womb, meaning pedophiles have no control over their attraction.
“The evidence suggests it is inborn. It’s neurological,” said clinical psychologist James Cantor. “Pedophilia is the attraction to children, regardless of whether the (person) ever … harms.”
Was wondering how long this would take. Knew it was coming when they starting normalizing and making protections for LGBTQ.
Wonder how long before the democrats try to make pedophiles a protected class of people.

The left wants to "normalize" all of the sexual perversions, including pedophilia, beastiality, incest, bigamy, you name it. They want to portray normal people as abnormal. It is the world turned upside down. Our own allegedly Republican legislative leaders, Phil Berger and Tim Moore did not have the backbone to stand up to these crazies and caved in to them on HB2. Too many RINOs went along.
