You place far too much importance on one side of yourself. You can't sacrifice relationships with people over how they feel about pedophilia. You will wind up alienating everyone in your life that way. Do you work? If so, your boss has a reasonably high chance of being just as anti as your mom. Are you gonna quit because of it? At least your mom cares about you. Your boss probably doesn't. Take it from someone who got fired for being an MAP: YOU are replaceable at work.

But you are not replaceable in your mother's heart. If you really are willing to toss your mom to the curb because she dislikes one part of you, then I dare say you are shallow. Is your whole relationship with her built on your MAPness? Probably very little of it is. You had better think long and hard about alienating a person who cares about you as much as your mom surely does. Was your mom willing to kick you out or sever ties with you over your pedophilia? Clearly not. It's all you; you're the one being immature here, and that has nothing to do with your "age dysphoria." Most 7-year-olds know better than to alienate loved ones permanently. Moreover, you are not a good ambassador for MAP-kind. This is not going to win empathy for MAPs, which is, after all, what you want, isn't it? You are making your situation worse, not better. The rest of your mom's family will take her side as well, and frankly I don't blame them. I would too, and I am an MAP.

Do the right thing: swallow your pride, apologize and tell her that you still care about her. If you want her to understand you're point-of-view, prove you are worthy of being respected and that you can keep your impulsive nature in check. As it stands now, you are far too impulsive and hot-headed and I wouldn't trust you with any of the little girls i love. Not because you're an MAP, but because you are immature, hot-headed and emotionally unbalanced. More than that, you lack perspective. Get your head on straight and prove that you are capable of being trusted with children. Maybe you already are. Maybe that side of you is completely different from the side you show your mom. Nevertheless, that's the side people will remember and they WILL judge you based on it. You don't live in a bubble; you can't isolate your loved ones and not expect there to be fallout from that in other parts of your life.

Remember, if you are out to your mom, then you are an ambassador and representative for all MAPs to her, whether you like it or not. But you aren't giving her a good impression of us. You are likely just reinforcing the fears and feelings she already has of us being selfish, deluded and impulsive. Don't do that. Grow up and be the bigger person.

I understand the age dysphoria thing. Do you think you're the only MAP that's ever experienced that? You're not. But the rest of us still understood that, like it or not, we were adults and we had act responsibly and maturely. Society is not forgiving of people who refuse to act their age. I don't like it either but it's just how it is.
