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.

There isn't really a way to help paedophiles.

These people have a sadistic paraphilia, it's not inborn. They have developed a fetish and fed it until it has become an identity to them. That's s a fetish for hurting kids. Paedophiles are always sadistic, harming kids mentally and physically is part of what turns them on.

These are bad people. Therapy doesn't help. Castration or locking them up until they get too old to be bothered so much by sex are the only things which have much effect.

Autogynephilia is also a paraphilia and you see how crazy the troons are and how rarely people come back from that once they've indulged. You need to realise paedos have much the same set of issues.

So a 15 and below year olds who are sexually abused during their childhoods needs to be locked up and/or castrated? Becuase a mental illness they did not want but was forced on them becuase of trauma, they should be subjected to castration and being imprisoned? Instead of getting help?

Are you sure you're for child safeguarding? Becuase you seem to be forgetting that on important big detail of just what age this illness begins developing and being diagnosed.
