Hi! Below is a post a friend of mine wrote, but was too afraid, understandably to post. I’ve offered to use my platform to share it.

Before I say anything, this post is for those of you who defend other trans women to your very last, women like kinky-robot-girl, Patricia Taxxon, isuggestforcefem, sailatina (sailor-crusader), all the ageplaying transfems on this site who get nuked multiple times a day, etc.. Despite all this support and rhetoric, which I love to see, I do not think many of you are really willing to fully acknowledge that thought-crimes are not real in the case of people attracted to children. For us all to be free, we can leave no one behind, and that includes pedophiles whether you like it or not. The word ‘pedophile’ does not imply action of any kind, it is merely a descriptor. People will say ‘pedophile’ and mean ‘child abuser’. This is stupid and wrong, those terms are entirely separate. If you conflate those two terms to mean the same thing, you might as well say that ‘trans woman’ is synonymous with ‘misogynystic rapist’, which I don’t think I have to explain to you the wrongness of.

I ought to make something clear, I am a trans woman, an ageplayer, a victim of real CSA, and I am attracted to adults. With this being told, I want it understood that I, happily, am friends with several pedophiles, and I know for certain they would never hurt an actual child. Now, sure, I imagine many of you would be willing to acknowledge such a thing in your own lives when pressed. However, just this acknowledgment is not the important part here. The important part is to not treat the pedophiles you love, and the pedophiles in this community, as disposable the moment they, or you, are accused of something heinous; be proud to be friends with a pedophile. Defend them. Be proud such a person trusts you with that knowledge. Something you need to be able to do is to say a sentence like “no one is free until we all are, and that includes people who are attracted to children” without immediately quantifying it with “and that does not condone fucking literal children” that second part should be understood implicitly. When a trans woman says she has a rape/noncon kink, do you think she actually wants to rape someone, or is inciting literal rape towards herself? No, I don’t think you do. Why, then, do you not apply the same rational logic to pedophiles?

I am fully willing to say that I have age regressed and subsequently engaged in play with a pedophile whom I love. This does not make me a victim of any kind. It does not make her a predator of any kind. It makes us two consenting adults, engaging in activity we consented to of our own free will. I am close friends with a particular trans woman. I am close friends with a particular pedophile. These statements are entirely separate things. And don’t make me fucking say that I know not all trans women are pedophiles. If that was a thought you had while reading this, fuck you. Anyways, one of those statements does not necessitate the other, even remotely. I know all too well that as trans women, speaking up on a subject such as this is an extremely hard thing to do. Harassment fucking sucks, believe me, I know. But I refuse to bend to it, as should you. I refuse to shrink in the face of those who would isolate and kill a friend of mine for the attraction she experiences. Such a type of attraction is just a thing that happens. Are we gonna cast out and isolate the trans women we claim to unwaveringly support for their intrusive thoughts? I would never and neither should you. The moment we let bigots, terfs, tMRAs, transandrobros, and any other anti-transfem hate group isolate one type of trans woman from the rest of our community, we have already lost. Be a safe person for ALL transfems.

I’ve said this fifty times in comments so I’ll say it here once and for all: Faggot is a slur. I has historically meant something negative. Yet it was reclaimed by its targets into something positive. Any opressed groups will see its language used to mean something horrible. I don’t think we should continue to use pedophile to mean child abuser. Just like we shouldn’t use faggot as a slur.

Ultimately any new term that they would use (Like MAP, you know) would be instantly demonized (like MAP). The problem is how this group is seen and rhetorically used as a scapegoat for CSA. Not the words!
