Um, maybe take some psychology classes?
Are you trying to say that you made a choice to be straight? Can you pinpoint the exact time in your life when you said to yourself, yeah, I think that I’d prefer to be sexually attracted to people of the opposite gender? I certainly can’t; I knew well before I even hit puberty that I was sexually interested in people of the opposite gender. It was never even a question for me.

In all fairness this is a more modern concept. It wasn’t till dsm v it was defined in this manner. Before that it was more murky with dsm iii. I won’t even talk about the shit show of IV.
Now I agree with the dsm v but people confuse pedophilia with child molestation. They’re not the same thing nor should they be confused.
Pedophilia can be treated and many never touch a child. They know their thoughts are wrong and never act on them.
As a society, we need to get those people help.

Someone I am acquainted with (online) in the Pac northwest that uses a substantially similar username across accounts. I don’t wish to share any information that might identify them, since I don’t know how tightly they try to control information about all of their activities.
It would have been a strange coincidence to run across them on a Lemmy instance, but stranger things have happened.
