    My fear is that once we say paedophilia is more about biology or nature than nurture, we're opening the door to normalising it. This article

    Are Some Men Born Pedophiles? New Science Says Yes, But Sexologists Say Not So Fast

    talks about a study that did find brain differences between paedophiles and normal people. But we know that the brain is plastic, so those brain differences could be as a result of 'nurture'.

    Personally I don't think that paedophiles are born. I'm not sure that heterosexuals are born either.

    I won't read Lolita. My daughter's read it and said it was paedophilic. It's been classified as 'erotica'. But for whom is it erotic? For men. Karen Millett's book Sexual Politics is about our so-called progressive Leftist authors like Mailer, D.H. Laurence and Henry Miller, as well as the book Lolita.

    I think it has a lot do with entitlement. Jimmy Saville, Prince Andrew, Gary Glitter, Billy Wyman, Steven Tyler--they're all men who were in positions of power and privilege. They did it because they could. Girls are socialised fairly early on (and it's getting younger) into being sexual commodities. This to me says it well:


    In pedophile culture, women are expected to maintain a near-impossible level of thinness, prepubescent in their almost-androgynous lack of curvature and body fat. Due to this pressure, eating disorders abound in young girls, and women in particular are targeted throughout their lives by a multi-billion dollar weight loss industry.

    In pedophile culture, the top Pornhub category is “Teen.” “Barely legal” “girls” in schoolgirl outfits play out everything from daddy-daughter incest fantasies, teacher-student make believe… .. It’s fair to wonder whether the only thing keeping some of these viewers from watching straight-up child porn is age of consent laws.

    ...women are outright pressured to regularly shave or wax their nether regions and underarms. The cosmetics industry — again, targeted at women — peddles “anti-aging” creams and lotions that will make our skin “baby soft!”

    There's a push by the Left to normalise pedophilia. Salon recently published a piece by Todd Nikerrson(not sure of spelling), pedophile. This was one response: Salon: Pedophilia Is The New Normal

    There is a push by the Left to normalise paedophilia. As I've said, it fits hand in glove with neoliberalism, which has nothing to do with social justice and everything to do with survival of the fittest.

    This breaks my heart. This is a beautiful young girl, who happens to be gay. Her family cannot countenance the fact that she is gay and they refuse to support her. They are deeply homophobic. Their denial has caused her to hate herself as she is. Being trans is more acceptable to her family (and ultimately it means non-rejection of her by her family and therefore survival) so transitioning is easier for her than being gay. If our society stopped being so homophobic and parents could love their kids AS THEY ARE kids wouldn't feel the need to transition.

    I watched it just now, and I'm not sure that I got the same message about her family as you BK. Her mother accepted her as gay, perhaps not happily, but she said her mother did accept it. She said her mother didn't believe she was trans, but respected her statement. She talked about waking up feeling like a boy. I didn't get (from just this clip anyway) that her family were "deeply homophobic" at all or that her transitioning meant non-rejection by her family. She said her two aunts supported her the most.
