The word 'PEDOPHILE' will forever be a

misunderstood and misleading one--just as the word gay is.

How many people do you know use the word "GAY" in their speech to when referring to happiness? That's fucking right? And it's been decades since the words been tainted.

Therefore, I feel very strongly that it is self-abusive and generally harmful to those attracted to young people, to use that word to describe ourselves with it.

Yes that's right.

I think it is a terrible misjustice to ourselves to use that word ever again.....or at least in our lifetimes. It does not mean what it originally meant, and that will not change in our lifetime. For the rest of our lives it will be synonomous with PREDATOR. And so therefore we should dump it from our vocabulary---unless, of course, it comes it in the context of speaking about word origins and original meanings of them, then this is an exception. But to refer to ourselves as PEDOPHILE is self-abusive, once again, unless we are saying it to those who are not sheeple and understand word origins and such.

For a minute though, Let's go on a bit about this calling of ourselves PEDOPHILE. Usually people here say that for the most part, it means they are socially and emotionally attracted to youngsters. But that too is misrepresentative of us because we are also socially and emotionally attracted - albeit, as occasionally as it might be - to some adults who may have qualities that are typical found in youth. A saying comes to mind right now: "Young at heart". There are plenty adults who are young at heart a in the many ways we individually like.
My point is that even on this front we do ourselves an injusitce to call ourselves PEDO because it is not entirely exclusive to young people. And why the fuck would we want to claim that we are ONLY "socially and emotionally" attracted to you people who are young? It would seem to me that this is a sort of obsession; that we are obsessed - perhaps due to society not wanting us (someone capable of also having a sexual attraction) to have ANY contact with the young - with children. Since the sexual attraction part of it is is where society has their biggest problem; and since they unable to recognize the other more legitimate areas of our attraction due to being outraged by the sexual part of it, then why do we want to convince anyone (especially them) that we are ONLY attracted to young people.

In other words: Why, if society cannot live with the sexual portion of our attraction to youth, do we want to insist we our so consumed by young people? There ARE ways that we can work at influencing society toward the acceptance of intergenerational relations (including sexual ones) between young people and adults, without claiming that A.) we are PEDS, and PEDS are ONLY attracted to children. And it doesn't matter in what respect we are saying that we're only attracted to youth, since if it can include SEXUAL than it will always be seen as primarilty that.
It would seem to me that it is always going to be a bone of contention for society to accept that an adult be ONLY attracted to youth. And it doesn't matter if, if like I said, it includes socially and emotionally, if it also can include sexually. As long as it includes sexually, then it is counterproductive for an adult to insist they're drawn ONLY to children.
As I write, I'm even getting annoyed with people who insist they can ONLY be attracted (in no matter the manner) to children. It reminds me of how some fucking asshole gay guys (and I don't hate all gays, but rather only this one type) purposely act all flambuoyant and diva-ish, and outright verablly insist/profess that they can only "EVER" be sexually attracted TO OTHER MEN. Now I don't care what anyone says, or even if they are a biological "expert", it is simply not true. The thought of giving oral sex to a woman might never appeal to them, but they cannot say that it is impossible to ever be sexually stimulated by a woman of a certain hormone balance, physique, and personality. Gimme a fucking break, all you piece-a-shit dive-acting queers (where-ever you are). The only reason they claim they are only attracted to men, is because they want to feel like they know themselves well and also that they're unique. I DON'T WANT TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY BECOME MADE UP MOSTLY OF SUCH IGNORANT DUMBASSES. SO THEREFORE I SAY TO ALL THOSE REFERRING TO THEMSELVES AS PEDO'S TO BE ON GUARD OF WANTING TO FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE YOURSELF ALL FIGURED OUT AND OF YOUR NEED TO FEEL UNIQUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And what's more, is this: While gays can afford, socially and legally to delude themselves in this way, it is veeeeeeeeeery damaging for us to do it.

Outcome is this, for me, anyways:

GC is here for those "in a mood" to appreciate things relating to the talent/skill and/or beauty and/or lovability of young girls, but not to insist that it is only young girls who have such traits. If we start on this course (with this new attitude) not only here on gc but also in daily rl life, we do ourselves a big favor I think. And again, they are more ways to influence society to believeing that youth and adult can benifit in certain partnerships (including ones involving sexual activity) without appearing like we are only into young girls. Only appearing like we're into young girls (no matter the way), appears like we are consciously fixated and obsessed. And this is also another human wildcard trait, which surely feeds society distrust of us. After all; it truly is difficult to know what obsessed people are gonna do or what they're capable of. So that's another reason to A.) stop deluding ourselves we are only into little girls, and B.) to stop appearing like we are.

This post was for anyone who feels it greatly, or even somewhat, applied to them; and also to those who see any sense in it.
