There was a lot of reasonable discussion about this topic back on the old TIA subreddit, and I don't know how the saidit version feels in comparison, so I may be sticking my neck on the block here, but I agree with those who who argued that non-offending paedophiles should be given whatever help they need so they won't offend.

The more children not abused the better (ideally 0).

Everyone wants to boil it down to "face the wall", but that doesn't really solve the problem of non-offenders since they haven't actually committed a crime yet.

Yes but I think we can all agree that normalizing it or destigmatizing it is a very real threat and these people WILL do it if we let them. Give them help individually, sure, but don't destigmatize or normalize it on a societal or cultural level, that will inevitably result in some fucked shit.

If "think you are the wrong sex and get surgery paid by your insurance" is normalized, then "have bad thoughts about kids but don't act on it and be able to get help paid by insurance" should be too. I'm okay with neither or both, but one or the other is retarded.
