The ever continuing normalisation of paedophiia - not "orientation", not "disability", now it's an Illness!

'Paedophilia IS an illness'

 

 

 

 

"Paedophilia is an illness and is linked to abnormalities in the brain’s white matter, according to one leading expert.

Clinical psychologist James Cantor, studied MRI scans to look at the brains of paedophiles and believes that there is a literal ‘cross-wiring’ of  the sexual response system and parental, nurturing system, in paedophiles' brains.

He also noticed that people who are sexually drawn to children are more likely to be left-handed, less intelligent and shorter than average men.

Dr Cantor, of the University of Toronto, Canada, was surprised to find ‘huge differences’ in the white matter of paedophiles’ brains when compared to those of typical men.

Talking on The Agenda with Steve Paikin, he explained he had expected to find differences in the brain’s grey matter, where major variations are often found.

He said ‘nothing’s ever in the white matter,’ which he describes as ‘cabling tissue’ that links different parts of the brain together.Dr Cantor said that when men find women sexually attractive, they unconsciously lower their voices and widen their stance, whereas when they talk to children their voices become higher.He explained that instead of evoking the typical responses that men exhibit when seeing a child, ‘it’s as if [paedophiles’] responses are cross-wired’ so that when they see a child, their brain ‘triggers the sex response system instead of the parental, nurturing system’."

 

hmmm.

 

Yet another so called "explanation" excuse for paedophilia - yet another attempt to normalise this into another "disease" / "sexual orientation" / "disability" / "mental disorder" / "illness".

 

Yes, there are people in this world who are quite obviously sexually attracted to children, disgusting as it sounds to the vast majority of us. However, like the rest of us, paedophiles have a choice in what they do. They do not have a proverbial gun pointed at their head, making them abuse children. They abuse children because they want to and because they can. Simple as that.

 

Why not just do the obvious, and label paedophilia as yet another paraphilia, or disgusting "sexual fetish", similar to any other "fetish"?

 

(BTW It can't be an orientation - an orientation is based purely on gender (lesbian, gay, bi, trans) and as paedophiles can be any of these, it cannot be an orientation in it's own right.)

 

If Dr Cantor is saying paedophilia is now an "illness", I assume he will be also redefining gerontophilia in the same way as well? He should do - what is the difference - it is a sexual attraction but to the elderly as opposed th children. Concept is the same... so?

 

Again, paedophiles CHOOSE TO ABUSE - they may not choose their paraphile/fetish, but a lot of them choose to act on it.

 

Stop making excuses - stop validating crimes against children, and stop redefining what is just another paraphilia that they CHOOSE to act on.

 

Start getting proper unprejudicial justice for victims, start punishing those who CHOOSE TO ABUSE and start getting priorities right.

 



APA and DSM-V Confirm Paedophilia as a "Sexual Orientation"

Pedophilia: Orientation or Crime?

 

 

"Modern Western society views the expression of sexuality as a primary component of human identity. As each autonomous individual can form his own happiness and welfare, sex is an essential component of human flourishing. 

As sex leads to the creation of life, it is indeed an essential human act. Yet the West is currently trying to isolate sex as a pleasurable, inconsequential form of recreation. The paradox rests in the very fact that it becomes banal, while also life-affirming and essential to our identities.
The issue rears its head in the latest definition of “pedophila” in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V). In it: 

the American Psychological Association (APA) drew a very distinct line between pedophilia and pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia refers to a sexual orientation or profession of sexual preference devoid of consummation, whereas pedophilic disorder is defined as a compulsion and is used in reference to individuals who act on their sexuality. 

Now, “unconsummated pedophila” is just an orientation. As Father Z clarifies, when a society changes the language, they are also affecting the definition. It is now imperative that we tolerate “pedophilia.”
The reason we must accept such perversion is that “people must be allowed to celebrate sex and sexuality, ‘one of the few freely-given pleasures in life,’” as spokesperson Paul Christiano of B4U-ACT said to NeonTommy.com, a university news site for the USC Annenberg School of Communications. The group advocates for “‘minor-attracted persons’ to be open about their sexual preferences in a supportive atmosphere.”
Christiano insisted that the group doesn’t advocate illegal activity. I’d certainly hope not. 
Yet if being attracted toward minors is only an orientation now, how soon until we must accept the practice of pedophilia as a right to define oneself? After all, sex is one of the “few freely-given” pleasures in life. 
For now, the law of the land stands. But how long until statutory rape becomes another form of institutional oppression by the majority against a vulnerable minority?"

Now, tell me I am being paranoid, but I find this a very alarming prospect going forward.

Think about this for one minute.  Paedophilia as a sexual orientation.

Sexual Orientation, as highlighted here is defined as "an enduring personal quality that inclines people to feel romantic or sexual attraction (or a combination of these) to persons of the opposite sex or gender, the same sex or gender, or to both sexes or more than one gender" We all know this better as "LGBT" (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender) - these are the four different sexual orientations there are (you can be straight, gay, bi or trans - there are no other that I am aware of).

I presume then - please feel free to correct my ignorance - that there is no such thing as a gay or straight paedophile? Assuming for one moment, that it is actually an orientation, people fall into one type of sexual orientation. You cannot be both heterosexual and homosexual for example. It doesn't work.

How the hell does paedophilia fall into a "sexual orientation" - does this mean then, disgusting as it sounds, that paedophiles have no preference between male and female children? (I look forward to see if anyone chooses to comment and answer this - being as quite a few of my posts are picked apart on other blogs including OSC for example. Leave a comment, I'd be interested to see). How has the DSM/APA reached this (quite bizarre) conclusion? Children as a whole do not fall onto a single gender, so how has this happened? Does this mean that every sexual preference, every sexual attraction, no matter what, can from now on be referred to as a specific "orientation"? What about an attraction to overweight people, to tall, short, skinny, black, white, big bums, the elderly, blondes - the list goes on. None of these can really be called a "sexual orientation", yet using the method that the APA / DSM have used, they could all be classified as separate sexual orientations. What's the difference, for example, between a 30 year old being sexually attracted to a child, and a 30 year old being attracted to an 80 year old? One is now classified as a "sexual orientation" (according to APA), and one is not.

Does this mean then, disgusting as it sounds, that paedophiles have no preference between male and female children? I look forward to see if anyone chooses to comment and answer this - being as quite a few of my posts are picked apart on other blogs including OSC for example. Leave a comment, I'd be interested to see.

So, what else does this mean, what can we expect next?

Well, of course, as this has now officially been reclassified (in the US at least), can we now assume that as well as being LGBTP), that the same Human Rights concerned with sexual orientation that all people quite rightly have, will now be used by paedophiles as well? Can we assume, going forward, that there will one day be no discrimination against paedophiles, who for example, apply to be teachers? Can we assume, for example, that there will one day be no discrimination against paedophiles, who apply to work in any profession with children?

No I hear you say?

Want a bet?

Read the link again "Human Rights" and in particular this part:

"The right to work is the most affected among the economic rights, many lesbians, gays and bisexuals being fired because of their sexual orientation or discriminated in employment policies and practices."

Once upon a time in the
There are rules and regulations against discriminating against specific sexual orientations. You can bet your bottom dollar that such organisations as B4U-ACT and similar will be pushing all the way to make sure that paedophilia will enjoy exactly the same rights as any other sexual orientation in this way.

Sexual Orientation, Mental Disorder, Disability Or Just Plain Perversion.

Paedophiles want same rights as homosexuals

 

An interesting and at the same time quite a nauseating article - one from 2011 however one that seems to have reared it's head somewhat over the previous few months.

 

Reading the article, the comments, and associated forums that have recently been discussing this, it seems that most people that have read and commented seem to be under the impression that this is some sort of attack on homosexuality, and indeed, some seem all to keen to add their bigoted small minded comments onto forums and blogs.

 

After very little looking around, it was quite easy to find the original Committee Meeting in Canada's parliament from February 2011, and reading through it is far more vomit inducing (to be frank) than the newspaper article in the above link. The full transcript is available here

 

Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights

 

and for those of you who have the time and the stomach for it, I strongly suggest reading through this, lengthy as it is.

 

For those of you who may not have the time, one of the main highlights relevant to this posting is here:

 

Mr. Marc Lemay (Abitibi—Témiscamingue, BQ):

        I am concerned, Professor Van Gijseghem—and I know you well as I have heard you testify on a number of other subjects—because you say, if I am not mistaken, that pedophilia is a sexual orientation.

Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem:

    That is what I said.

Mr. Marc Lemay:

    Should it therefore be compared to homosexuality?

Dr. Hubert Van Gijseghem:

    Yes, or heterosexuality. If, for instance, you were living in a society where heterosexuality is proscribed or prohibited and you were told that you had to get therapy to change your sexual orientation, you would probably say that that is slightly crazy. In other words, you would not accept that at all. I use this analogy to say that, yes indeed, pedophiles do not change their sexual orientation.

 

 

Now, please excuse my ignorance (yet again), but I always thought that a Sexual Orientation, was purely a gender thing - i.e. heterosexuals, homosexuals or bisexuals.  Where does anywhere state that anything other than gender attraction is a sexual orientation? Does this also mean that all sexual paraphilia are all "sexual orientations? What about gerontophilia?, what about hebephilia? what about ephphebphilia? What about good old fashioned teleiophilia or adultophilia ? Where does it all stop?

 

One of the other things to take into account, is discrimination, and this I believe is the scariest part of this whole discussion and the main reason I feel that this is more than likely being pursued as much as possible by every paedophile and paedophile sympathise there is. Society today in the majority of cases and quite rightly so, has a range of laws that are in place to stop discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation (example here ECHR Sexual Orientation), and you can bet your bottom dollar that every paedo would want paedophilia to be officially diagnosed as a "sexual orientation" so that they too can be protected by law against being discriminated.

 

Scary stuff imho.

 

Anyway, I digress a little.

 

In the previous few years, I have read many articles stating what paedophilia is.

 

In Greece, it is classed as a "disability" and no doubt paedophiles can also (as it is a disability) claim disability benefits....

 

In the UK, it is classed as a Mental Disorder , as it is (I believe) in the US

 

Now in Canada, it is being pushed as a Sexual Orientation , which as explained briefly above, is possibly the worst of these "options"

 

Often as well, we hear offenders claim that they were abused themselves, which as caused them to become paedophiles as well (aka The dubious "life cycle of an offender"), although my belief is the majority of these are more likely to be fabrications in order to gain sympathy and therefore get a lesser sentence.

 

So, what is it?

 

"Mental disorder", "disability", "sexual orientation", "the result of childhood abuse", a vile "fetish" or something else? Someone tell me please - the world nowadays seems to find an endless supply of excuses for paedophilia, instead of concentrating on dealing with and helping victims of these vile crimes.

 

Whatever it is, there is never any excuse for any crime associated with paedophilia. No-one forces anyone at gun-point to abuse a child, or download IIOC.

Whatever it is, paedophiles do have their own minds, and are very manipulative and have (or have tried to) groomed everyone for far too long.

Whatever it is, society needs to ungroom itself, to stop looking for and redefining the causes of adults sexually abusing children - it needs to get back to the basics, that abuse is abuse and that offenders have no excuse for what they do.
