So this is the big controversial quote apparently:

“To prevent harm to future children, we would also be well-advised to start teaching high school students not just what to do in case they are victims of sexual abuse, but also what to do in case they themselves are pedophiles. A certain percentage of high school students either are or will become pedophiles, and currently they are not given any advice on how to handle their sexuality.”

Donno if I agree exactly, but that's an interesting point.

That's not a sexuality, is the point, it's a paraphilia like sadism or autogynephilia.

The answer is not to feed the habit.

Homosexuality is a paraphilia too. It was removed from the DSM under political pressure.

On less flippant note, I'm really not convinced anyone knows how this stuff works. That goes for you and the "queer academic" both. I'm seeing a lot of assertions and no real evidence on either side. If it's impossible (or very rare) to be innately pedophilic then teaching differently could potentially be harmful, much like spreading gender ideology is clearly making more young people "trans".

But since pedophilia is so hated, but still exists, and existed for a long time, I'm not so sure the same mechanism is at work there.
