So, let me get this straight.

They're okay with transing children, talking to minors online about their genitals and sexuality, encouraging them to mutilate themselves permanently, but they draw the line at pedophilia? I wasn't even aware they had a line, tbh.

Well said. There are over-30s adults talking about their genitals to young teenagers on the "actuallesbians" subreddit all the time... these people are way late to the party, pedophilic people have already snuck in to QT communities and, in some cases, have been there a while.

It's not just the QT stuff. One of the guys that founded the gay pride movement (Harry Hay) was also a co-founder of NAMBLA.

False equivalency. That is one guy you mentioned (and it sounds like he was heavily lambasted for it); the TQ includes many men who have autogynephilia, and research suggests that paraphilias often cluster together-- proportionally speaking, many men who have autogynephilia also have pedophilia. This pattern is not found among homosexuality/bisexuality. Happy to link a study about it.
