There's a condition in the brain, right?

OK, so you you're attracted to minors.

It just happens to you.

It's a curse.

Holy shit.

I see a seven year old or whatever the fuck it is.

OK, so the idea is this.

You have this affliction.

You might be a you might be a person who's otherwise pays his taxes, loves his mom, loves his friends.

Right.

Now watch.

Now, they have this overwhelming urge the way somebody would have, say, if they were a gambler or whatever the fuck it is.

And they have no one to talk to because if they go to a therapist, the therapist has to tell the police.

Right.

Okay?

So now you have no one to talk to.

So the idea, just this is the idea, is if we destigmatize pedophilia and call it a minor attractive person and you're allowed to talk to a therapist without having to be incarcerated, the idea would be maybe they can get help

and they won't touch kids because a professional can help them, et cetera, et cetera.

That's the idea.

I understand the, I guess, philosophy behind that, but we get into this very dangerous territory where everything becomes medicalized and everything becomes an excuse.
