I've thought a lot about the arguments of both sides, and my conclusion is that there is always a risk of harm, and you should not take that kind of risk with the well-being of children just because you feel horny. That's my own honest opinion. I don't believe that sexual contact with children is the worst crime imaginable, and I consider many legal systems unreasonable. I also don't think that every boy who has sexual contact with an adult will suffer from negative consequences, and I believe that there can be situations where the effect is positive. But I'm not going to publicly say these more nuanced opinions, since it would not make my life easier, and these nuances also don't change my conclusion that you should never engage in sexual activities with a child. I'm not lying to myself, I'm just not talking about things that could get me into trouble. And I don't want to exhaust myself with overthinking hypothetical situations. I don't think hating society is a good alternative to self-hatred. I know they made me feel awful, and I still feel bad at times, but I don't think you can blame society for hating MAPs when they learned to hate us from a young age. Besides, I've only had positive and neutral experiences with coming out. I don't think we need to feel hate towards ourselves or society.  |
