If you're referring to the age gap between #JerrySeinfeld and his 17-Year old high school student, you know #professor John Ashton, made the proposal that the #UK age of #consent should be reduced from 16 years to 15 or even 14 years?

#NHS trial uses daily doses of food #allergens to tackle severe reactions - https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/08/nhs-trial-uses-daily-doses-of-food-allergens-to-tackle-severe-reactions "‘Life-transforming’ trial giving children and young people with milk or peanut allergy small doses to train their bodies to tolerate it" makes sense

It's disturbing that in our society that EVERYBODY is ALWAYS accusing all their enemies of pedophilia, but NOBODY has even bothered to take 5 minutes to learn what the word means.

The #guardian reports on a study commissioned by the french government which finds, among other things, that children should only use "ethical" social media such as #mastodon until they're 18.

Such a shame that we still have to fight for a #stigma reduction for lgbtqa+ people.

But they are not the only ones, e.g. non-offending persons with #pedophilia fighting also for a stigma reduction: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-021-02057-x

Yes, and should be possible: https://inews.co.uk/news/humans-irrational-fools-science-2897423

I'm not delusional to think just pointing to this will change many people's minds over night. But it's important not to let this belief remain unchallenged, whenever it can be challenged.

Do you think an average #Mastodon user with a couple hundred followers could post a silly #poll to the #Fediverse, and get a million or more votes in 7 days?

Please boost to widen the sample. ;-)

My recommendations for research: whether or not AI-generated child porn can prevent child abuse.

I'm not sure if it is a #mental disorder, but I agree #pedophilia needs treatment (not sure if it needs in all cases) with regards to impulse control.

Also a stigma reduction for non-offending pedophiles?

@Whinery Pedophilia is not a sexual orientation. It is a mental disorder that needs treatment. If the person is getting treatment and keeping themselves well away from children in all arenas of life, then I see no reason why that person's human rights should be curtailed.

But let me be clear: if a "minor attracted person" (convenient renaming!) aka pedophile acts on their drives in any way, that is either sexual abuse or outright rape.
