Thanks for your perspective

I knew who you were before you even started posting here

If you're saying you have any identity-linking information, it would help me if you shared it with me privately so I know where I stand. ethane72@gmail.com.

You are a girl lover. Do you confess to this sinful reality?

I have never considered it a sin. I don't entirely accept the label, as it is sometimes associated with the pro-legalization community. But yes, I am romantically and sexually attracted to girls from age 3 to 30, but most strongly 3 to 6.

You are honest, and you are also passionate,

I appreciate that a lot. Not too many people here take the time to say that if they believe it.

... about views that I nevertheless see as tainted by societal demands and misguided, though clearly having your heart in the right place.

Respect of intentions is a good basis for conversations among people.

Naturally I don't agree with your assessment of Dissident. But I agree he is often energetic and I suspect he truly believes in what he's fighting for. When he wrote recently of his goal of a stateless society, I recalled that (I think) a prerequisite for that is the perfectibility of humanity. I don't think many people believe that any more, and the scientific evidence is very much against the idea that we are blank slates who can be molded to a desired character that will then propagate effortlessly through the generations.

Even people who aren't so intellectual can take a look at the premises that underlie Dissident's views and judge for themselves whether they make sense.

But I appreciate your perspective. To be viewed as equal to Dissident in stature on this board is quite something.
