It really bothers me how peados are trying to co-opt the LGBT message to encourage acceptance of their abuses, I've read a lot of stories over the years of peadophiles trying to spread their messages at pride parades and events and **** and it just makes me want to vomit. Predators trying to normalise their behaviour by comparing it to same-sex relationships between consenting adults.

Again for the back seats, Peadophillia is not a sexuality.

I agree however most fetishes are benign and perfectly acceptable with other consenting adults so I don't think even calling it a fetish is helpful. Most fetishes pose no risk of harm.

It also opens up an absolutely massive can of worms in the trans debate because (duck and cover) - there is true trans rights stuff that concerns actual transexuals and gender identity, and then there is a side of trans that is heavily sexualised and a clear fetish. That's a topic that is absolutely RED hot, of course.
